About the Item

This sophisticated modernist exotic marble sculpture was realized by the esteemed 20th century American artist Dan Bedik circa 1988. Entitled "Les Deux Visages"- meaning two faces (or two faced) in France- this work literalizes the title presenting two faces of an amorphic exotic marble slab in a muted red jasper hue. The front of the piece appears like a giant clam with a oversized pearl in the center. The ovoid center appears in dramatic relief with incised sunburst striations extending out to the perimeter with fine dappled patternation circumscribing the edges. The back of the piece (the other face) similarly features a raised center and channeled detailing in relief suggestive of coral. The carved elements (the dappled border and channeled lines) offer a stunning juxtaposition to the perfect skein of the polished marble throughout. Beautifully executed in exotic marble and full of dynamism and verve, this piece embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of first rate modern art absolutely adore. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contemporary. The work comes presented on a custom rectilinear black acrylic stand inscribed "Dan Bedik Les Deux Visages 88". It is in excellent vintage condition. American, 1988 Dimensions: 18.5"W X 17.5"H X 7"D

Abstract Marble Sculpture by Emile Gilioli
By Émile Gilioli
Located in Stamford, CT
This beautiful marble sculpture by Emile Gilioli is made of rose veined marble (white/pink). The sculpture is signed and dated on wooden base. "Emile Gilioli was born to a family on Italian shoemakers who had settled beside the Canal Saint-Martin. After the first World War, the family moved back towards Italy, settling in Nice. In 1932, Gilioli took courses at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs de Nice, notably with the future artist Marie Raymond. During the Second World War, Gilioli was mobilized in Grenoble where he passed the remainder of the conflict. He made the acquaintance of Andry Fracy, a conservationist at the Grenoble Musee des baux-arts and led him to discover cubism. After the war, Gilioli settled in Saint-Martin-de-La-Cluze near Grenoble, where he sculpted in his workshop. His art was associated in a certain way with the deeds of the French Renaissance. He became friendly with Thomas Gleb...
