About the Item
French sculptor Morice Lipsi (1898-1986) moved into La Ruche, a much-mythologised artist’s residence in the Paris neighbourhood of Montparnasse, aged just fourteen. Early output recalls Rodin, but after the Second World War he turned to abstraction, producing stone figures with a ‘taille directe’ direct carving process. Later he focused on monumental public sculpture, including works for the Tokyo 1964 and Grenoble 1968 Olympic Games.
A polished horn emerges from this weighty granite sculpture of unknown date, which is characterised by hand-worked texture and a loose geometry. The white seams are likely quartz.
