Giovanni Massagrande “Totem” Sculpture for Giovanni Massagrande Studio, 1977

About the Item

Giovanni Massagrande “Totem” sculpture for Giovanni Massagrande Studio, Italy, 1977. The "Totem" sculpture by Giovanni Massagrande, created in 1977, is a striking example of the integration of cultural references and modern artistry. Its design draws inspiration from African art, evident in the intricate carvings and vertical structure. The sculpture features elaborate wood carvings that create a powerful and dynamic presence. Its vertical structure is divided into three planes, adding symmetry and balance. This layered effect enhances the visual impact and brings vigor and movement to any space. A metallic label on the steel base confirms the authenticity and attention to detail of Massagrande's work. The ebonized finish gives the sculpture a rich, deep color, highlighting the detailed carvings and enhancing the overall aesthetic. Massagrande's "Totem" sculpture exemplifies his ability to blend traditional cultural elements with contemporary design, creating pieces that are both timeless and modern.
