Mid-Century Abstract Looped Ribbon Sculpture in White Marble on Pyramidal Base

About the Item

This dynamic and beautifully formed Mid-Century Modernist Abstract Looped Ribbon Sculpture in White Marble on a Pyramidal Black Base is Initialed S.K. and originates from the United States, C. 1984. Carved from a solid vertically oriented block of marble, this sculpture features sumptuously curved forms, resting on the base with a winding element curled in on itself, then emerging upwards in a serpentine curve that loops around and crosses in front to achieve a larger oblong open loop in the upper portion of the piece. Beautifully angled and carefully balanced to create a cohesive shape and maintain visual movement throughout, this sculpture is a brilliant example of the abstracted geometry and stunning use of material characteristic of Mid-Century Modernist design. Grounded and supported by a custom black pyramidal base, the contrast of hues accentuates the presence of the sculpture and is unobtrusive while remaining a strong element of the balance and design of the sculpture overall. Styling well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors, this sculpture will be a beautiful additional for those who appreciate fantastic quality piece from the 20th Century. Bears the carved initials "S. K." and a creation date of 1984. In Excellent Vintage Condition. American, circa 1984 Dimensions: Height: 38.5" x Width: 17.5" x Depth: 14"

Mid Century Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base by Aharon Bezalel
By Aharon Bezalel
Located in New York, NY
This unique and beautifully formed Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base is by the artist Aharon Bezalel, originating from Israel created in 1977. The sculpture is composed of multiple interlocking components, each serving as an individual point of intrigue while supporting one another as a finished sculpture. The body of the abstracted automobile appears skeletal and organic, curving dynamically, each component beautifully proportioned to house figures seated at various points both within interior and exterior spaces along the sculpture. Six figures total, the largest sitting up front with one leg extending, nearly scraping along the marble base as though to slow down this surreal vehicle, the other pulled closer to the body. Two additional figures sit behind, knees pulled close to chest, with three even smaller figures huddled together, concealed from the elements by the top sculptural component. The figures inside are visible from a variety of angles through cleverly planned openings that serve as the vehicle's windows. Signed on the rear of the sculpture, AB 77, edition 12/25 and resting on a rectangular white marble base. This brilliant piece will style beautifully in a wide array of interiors and settings, and is sure to draw the eye of sophisticated collectors appreciating the best of the 20th Century...
