Poised between abstraction and nautical biography, this Brutalist-era sailboat wall sculpture captures both movement and material poetry. The sail motif is rendered through sharp, torch-cut metal planes—perhaps of steel or brass—formed into stylized hull and sail configurations that evoke both architectural rigor and maritime fantasy. The industrial textures and patinated surface read like sculpture, offering a tactile narrative woven from mid-century modern artistry. While unsigned, this piece bears unmistakable echoes of the radical designs popularized by Curtis Jeré and Paul Evans. These designers translated rugged materials into flowing, expressive wall forms—and your sailboat composition resonates with that same kinetic energy and bold geometry. A comparable Jeré sailboat-themed wall sculpture from the 1970s, featuring layered metal sails and airborne birds, measures approximately 49" wide by 22" high and currently appears in the mid‑four‑figure range. The sculpture’s compact yet commanding dimensions—around 22" tall × 36–48" wide (approximate range based on visual proportions and comparable examples) —make it a dynamic accent that animates modern interiors without overwhelming. Despite handling over time, the finish offers a rich patina with preserved industrial authority, its archival unevenness adding character rather than compromise. This is more than wall art—it’s a statement in sculptural form: part Brutalist manifesto, part nautical daydream. In a gallery-like dark-hued foyer, a modern seaside lounge, or an edited architectural space, it commands both space and story. For collectors of Brutalist or mid-century metal expression, it offers rare emotional punch, deftly balancing elegance with edge. Huge, free standing metal...
