Robert Michiels (1933), iron sculpture

About the Item

Robert Michiels (1933), iron sculpture An iron sculpture in the shape of an animal head raised on a round base, made by Robert Michiels, Belgium, signed. In 1966 Robert received the Jeune Sculpture Belgium prize, the following year the Hainaut Prize and in 1969 first prizes at the Paris Biennale and the Antwerp Biennale Middelheim. Robert Michiels works with industrial components and materials. He uses them to build human characters, animals or strange insects, often with a touch of surrealism and humour. Because the material comes from our society, the works are reminiscent of New Realism and his sculptures are often described with the term existentialism. Because he often works with metal, Robert often uses a grinding wheel and welding machine as tools. The earrings are dangling side the head The sculpture is signed with the initials of Robert Michiels under the chin of the sculpture. The measurement is 98 cm high, 33 cm wide and the depth is 27 cm. The weight is 29 kilos
