About the Item
A wonderful Mid-Century Modernist Abstract sculpture of a female figure in the style of/attributed to renowned South African sculptor/ artist Sydney Kumalo (1935-1988). Kumalo was known for his work in bronze and metals. His main subjects were usually human figures and using elongated forms of the human body to convey certain scenes, emotions, and spiritual feelings.
As the work is not signed (except on the base with the artist's incised initials "SK") or numbered we are listing it as in the style of the artist.
Kumalo's work can be found today in every major museum and academic collection in South Africa as well as international museums and collections in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Holland, Israel, the United States, Canada, Germany, Colombia, Australia, Italy, and Belgium.
