Mid-Century Modernist Hand Carved Walnut & Oak Dowel Pierced Amorphic Sculpture
About the Item
This unusual and sophisticated modernist sculpture was realized in France circa 1985. It features a demilune formed base suggestive of a sickle in oak pierced through with a cylindrical dowel in burnished walnut. The amorphic oak body suggests an oversized clamp that holds an oak instrument suggestive of a stylized clothespin (an ode perhaps to the great modernist sculptor Claes Oldenburg), holding a string a spherical walnut orbs- like peas or pearls of descending diameter. With its sophisticated mixture of hard woods to create a rich tonal and textural tableau from the innate qualities of the Material, beautiful craftsmanship and dynamic formal contrasts, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate modern art as well as those with a penchant for all things striking (and unusual). It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. Excellent vintage condition.

- Mid Century Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base by Aharon BezalelBy Aharon BezalelLocated in New York, NYThis 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...Category
