About the Item

This stunning Mid-Century Modernist Equestrian Bronze Relief Plaque signed Franz Mikorey originates from Germany, C.1978. This piece features an irregular format in solid bronze with a gorgeous sculptural relief depicting a horse standing in front of a male figure with balled fists raised in a boxing stance, perhaps pulling at the reins or showing force to another figure. The surface is beautifully handled, vibrant and sculptural with a lovely patination. The anatomy of each figure is a dynamic balance of realistic depiction and loose rendering, reminiscent of ancient art while simultaneously referencing Picasso's use of male figures with equestrian subjects, a popular subject matter throughout the history of art and especially modernist works. The figures are well scaled and occupy most of the piece, with a background devoid of imagery yet brimming with textural detail. A gorgeous piece signed in the upper left hand corner, this plaque will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition. Germany, circa 1978 Dimensions: Height: 18" x Width: 19" x Depth: 1"

Hand-Sculpted French Cubist Abstract Sculpture in Terracotta Signed "Philip"
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
