About the Item
"Caldare" is a specific object — a bronze pot on a white painted iron base with a stove —designed by Franz West in 1991 for the Meta Memphis Collezione, produced in a limited edition of 25. It was created as a functional performance piece (you can boil rose water in it during a dinner party!) that embodies West's philosophy of merging art and utility, a characteristic of the Meta Memphis collection.
Franz West (1947–2012) was an Austrian artist known for his sculptures, installations, and furniture that often featured playful, abstract forms and were meant to be interacted with. His career spanned over four decades, with his work displayed in major museums and international exhibitions, including the Tate Modern and the Centre Pompidou. West also collaborated with other artists and was recognized for his significant contributions to contemporary art with awards such as the Otto Mauer Prize and the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale.

Large abstract ‘Verticali’ sculpture in by Roberto Cordone, Italy 1972
Located in Sittard, LI
Large abstract 'Verticali' sculpture by Italian artist Roberto Cordone, Italy 1972. This sculpture is made out of polished stainless steel and created for the German headquarters of Johnson & Johnson in Düsseldorf, this is a unique piece. All in a good original condition with wear and patina consistent with its age.
The sculpture stands 285cm (112.2 inch) tall, is 101cm (39.7inch) wide on both side and rests on a 116cm (45.6inch) round base.
The Verticali sculptures were conceived for the outdoors, anchored to the earth, often in correspondence with the surrounding architecture. They are stainless steel sculptures, larger than life, built by using segments of cylinders and spheres welded together in symmetrical or asymmetrical relationships.
Because of their highly polished, reflective metal surfaces, these sculptures reflect the surrounding environment and architecture and are in a constant process of change
