About the Item

This gracefully white adult mother fish guards her two black young ones with her life. The white fish measurements are 8,5 cm in height, 27,5 cm in length and 3 cm in depth. The black fishes are 4 cm in height, 13 cm in length and 2cm in depth. One of the small black fishes has a tiny chip on the bottom that you only see when you turn the fish upside down. The others are in excellent condition. All three sculptures are labeled by the artist. The Brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik (1928) was the founder of the technological movement in Brazilian art, and a pioneer in making kinetic sculptures. In the late 40th (1949) he created his first “Kinechromatic Devices”. Many an optical experiment followed in the 1950s and 1960s.
