Large abstract Bronze sculpture "Torse en deux volumes" by Sergio Storel, 1969

About the Item

Large abstract Bronze sculpture "Torse en deux volumes" by Sergio Storel (Italy 1926 - Paris 2017), France 1969. Outstanding sculpture characterized by bold, powerful lines and shapes, resulting in a striking modernist presentation. The sculpture depicts an abstracted torso, completely stripped of figurative references. Reduction into pure form was a hallmark of Storel’s work, his minimalist approach gives the piece a timeless, modern aesthetic. The torso was one of his favorite themes, it was this search for the essence of life that led him focus on the figures of man. Storel moved from Italy to Paris in 1958 after studying and working for a time in the studio of his uncle, the sculptor Toni Benetton. The desire to discover other worlds and the international art scene of Paris attracted him, and it was here where he established his own career and style. Storel is considered a prominent figure in the post-war sculpture scene. His works found their way into important private - and museum collections. The sculpture is signed, dated, and numbered: Storel 1969, 1-8, and is stamped with the monogram of the foundry. In excellent original condition.

Additional information Measures: Height: 12 cm Width: 25 cm Depth: 8 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1860 Materials: Bronze Book Ref BARYE Catalogue Raisonne des Sculptures by Michel Poletti – Alain Richarme Page no. 150 Description Antoine Louis Barye “The Michelangelo of the Menagerie” These are the words of Théophile Gautier in praise of Barye’s genius. Throughout his life Barye endeavoured to capture the fundamental nature of the animal kingdom in all its diversity, wild or tame, exotic or familiar, cruel or gentle, bringing to life the roaring, trembling, living beasts.
