Set of Three ‘Shark Fin’ Sculptures from the Collection of Sir Terence Conran
About the Item
A grouping of three abstract sculptures with gently rhythmic, biomorphic forms, previously owned by Sir Terence Conran’s (1931 - 2020). Conran, an inimitable design pioneer and businessman, “did more than anyone to enhance material life in Britain during the second half of the 20th century”, according to The Guardian. These sculptures were on display at Quaglino's restaurant, one of Conran’s major projects. Quaglino's was reopened in 1993 and 'conclusively reshaped the British restaurant scene'. According to rumour, table reservations were traded on the stock exchange, and ashtrays were under constant threat of being stolen.
