Modernist Dan Bedik Sculpture "Musical Embrace" in Green Marble with Walnut Base

About the Item

This dynamic and sophisticated modernist sculpture was realized by the esteemed artist Dan Bedik in the United States circa 1990. Entitled "Musical Embrace", this piece- executed in exotic green marble offering russet and jade hues- suggests a stylized and abstracted treble clef form. Rising from an elongated volumetric convex base in hand rubbed walnut, this amorphic form offers a totemic form with figurative connotations. The sinuously curved body capped with an orbital detail from which an open form arch connects may indicate a stylized musician playing a saxophone (or other wind instrument). Alternately, the sculpture could read as a sophisticated and whimsical abstraction whose melodic lines recall how the harmonies of music can captivate a listener (hence the title). Whatever one's interpretation of the piece, it is an immaculately crafted and irresistibly compelling modern art work sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate fine art, as well as those with a penchant for all things exquisite. Its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and immaculate surfaces, make this piece as versatile as it is aesthetically compelling, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. It is in excellent vintage condition. American, circa 1990 Dimensions: Height: 14.5" x Width: 3.5" x Depth: 4".

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...
