David L Deming Centurion II Abstract Modern Sculpture in Flat Black Steel, 1985

About the Item

An astounding abstract sculpture hand crafted by renowned Texas artist David Deming executed in 1985. It was titled "Centurion II" because of its ominous appearance as a massive guardian offering protection to those behind him. This artwork was purchased from Deming's first solo exhibition at the Adams-Middleton Gallery in Dallas TX. Comprised of 9 interlocking steel pieces, Centurion II is post-modern anthropomorphism at its finest. It commands the attention of observers from every angle. Refinished in an exterior grade flat black paint and ready for installation. Deming's work is in museums, public parks, and private collections across the company. Provenance: Adams-Middleton Gallery Private Collection Flamante Family Dallas TX Jesuit School of Dallas 20cdesign (current).
