Hugh Acton Wood Sculpture from His Own Barn
About the Item
A unique hanging sculpture consisting of 4 interlocking squares set at random angles held in place with dowels. This piece was bought from mid century modern designer Hugh Acton's estate where it hung from loft beams in his barn (see photos). Acton produced many of his most famous designs including the suspended beam bench in the barn, assembling them by hand.
The squares are made of oak and are finger-jointed at the corners. There is a hole in the top for hanging it from. It is very solid and shows slight discoloration on the top edges (not seen from below) where birds had roosted in the past.
The sculpture is visible high up in the loft in photos of Acton's house in the most recent real estate listing.

View AllNarendra Patel Signed Rosewood Bird Sculpture
Located in Kalamazoo, MI
Stunning abstract bird sculpture in solid Brazilian Rosewood by artist Narendra Patel. Originally hailing from India, the sculptor completed degrees in painting, sculpting, and product design at the prestigious Maharaja Sayajirao University before moving to the U.S. for his M.A. in Sculpture at Wayne State University and M.A. in Fine Art at Cranbrook in 1965. His final year at Cranbrook in Michigan was the year he completed this piece. The piece is in excellent condition with a fine patina. Mounted in a block of redwood, the bird is free to swivel with its tail smoothly passing each corner without hitting it. A rare early find from an established mid-west artist whose work can be found at outdoor sculpture parks...
