"Summer/Indian Island" Silver Sterling Sculpture, Abbot Pattison (1916-1999)

About the Item

This rare sterling silver sculpture by American modernist Abbott Pattison features four stylized figures in an expressive Brutalist style—one of which appears to be an abstracted canine. Characterized by angular geometry and textured surfaces, the composition reflects Pattison’s signature fusion of figuration and architectural abstraction. The work is cast in sterling silver and mounted on a polished black marble base, adding contrast and gravitas. Signed “A Pattison” in the casting, this piece is a scarce example of the artist’s work in silver, making it an exceptional addition to any mid-century or Brutalist collection.
