About the Item

Sculpture in white Carrara marble by Belgian sculptor Pol Spilliaert (1935-2023). Title of the work “ Elke Icarus wil eens vliegen “ (Every Icarus wants to fly). After a plaster proof, Spilliaert made this first marble version in 1968 before making a larger monumental version the same year. His sculptures reflects the artist’s signature style by combining organic and geometric forms, creating an interesting sense of tension. Pol Spilliaert studied sculpture at the La Cambre Academy of Art in Brussels where he was taught by notable figures like modernist architect Leon Stynen , graduating as laureate in 1959. This work is listed page 56 of the book on Pol Spilliaert by Jaak Fontier edition Lannoo.
