About the Item

Rare “Vas Hippocampus” (Seahorse Vase) by Annacleto Spazzapan, 2011 An exceptional and rare example of contemporary collectible design, this striking “Vas Hippocampus” vase by acclaimed Italian artist Annacleto Spazzapan is a true statement piece that embodies the perfect balance of minimal materiality and baroque inspiration. Handcrafted in 2011, the vase is sculpted entirely from iron rods — a medium Spazzapan masterfully elevates, transforming simple industrial lines into intricate, poetic forms. The elegant amphora silhouette is crowned by two stunning seahorse figures (hippocampus) on either side, beautifully detailed and gold painted, adding a luxurious accent that evokes movement and fluidity while capturing the essence of marine life with a contemporary edge. Dimensions: Height: 90 cm (35.43 inches) Width: 41 cm (16.14 inches) Depth: 23 cm (9.05 inches) Annacleto Spazzapan (b. 1957) is celebrated for his remarkable wire sculptures that transcend eras and styles, ranging from baroque exuberance to minimalist and modernist aesthetics. Spazzapan’s works have been exhibited internationally and are coveted by collectors for their masterful craftsmanship, dynamic structure, and timeless originality. Each piece is a testament to his ability to transform a minimal material into an extraordinary creation. Add an extraordinary, conversation-starting piece to your collection — a rare opportunity to own an original Spazzapan work that beautifully blurs the lines between sculpture, design, and functional art. Condition: Excellent. Minor variations and irregularities are inherent to the handmade nature of the work. Colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings. Wear consistent with age and use. The vase will be shipped insured overseas in a custom made wooden crate. Cost of insured transport to the US is Euro 375 crate included if we take care of the transport which we highly recommend.
