Miguel Ortiz Berrocal "Goliath" Bronze Sculpture, Signed and Numbered 1221/2000

About the Item

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal "Goliath" Bronze Sculpture, Signed and Numbered 1221/2000 Offered for sale is a rare puzzle sculpture by Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (1933–2006) titled "Goliath". The piece is signed, stamped, and numbered 1221/2000. The puzzle was created in Cologne, Germany, and is fully marked. The work is quite substantial and extremely heavy. Born in Villanueva de Algaidas, Málaga in 1933, Spanish sculptor Miguel Ortiz Berrocal is best known for his puzzle-like sculptures in metal and intricate jewelry designs. At a young age, Berrocal showed keen artistic talent and a passion for research. He studied in Madrid, where he attended various art schools and developed a fascination with analytic geometry, which later influenced his sculptural style. Berrocal moved to Italy in 1967 and his career took off there, ultimately maintaining residence until 2004. He collaborated with sculptural foundries in Verona and Negrar to produce his artwork. His sculptures, ranging from monumental outdoor installations to small wearable ornaments, gained recognition and were exhibited extensively across Europe, North America, South America, and Japan. In 2004, Berrocal returned to his birthplace in Spain and remained artistically active until his sudden death in 2006. Throughout his career, Berrocal explored new techniques and materials, incorporating miniature artworks and hidden jewelry within his puzzle sculptures. He gained acclaim for his ability to disassemble and reconfigure his sculptures into different arrangements. Verona and its foundries became important centers for contemporary art in Europe, attracting renowned artists such as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, and René Magritte, thanks to Berrocal influence. Berrocal's legacy is preserved and promoted by the Fundación Escultor Berrocal (Berrocal Sculpture Foundation), which was founded by his heirs in 2007 and is based in his hometown of Villanueva de Algaidas, Málaga, Spain. Visitors may experience the "Berrocal Creative Universe," which is comprised of a museum, the Center of Interpretation of Water and Contemporary Art, Berrocal's final studio-workshop, and the house-museum. Berrocal's artistic achievements, from his early exhibitions in Madrid to his international success, continue to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
