Modernist Uruguayan Amethyst Rock Crystal Specimen on Black Lacquer Base
About the Item
This powerfully scaled and stunning Modernist Uruguayan Amethyst Rock Crystal Specimen on Black Lacquered Base originates from Uruguay during the latter half of the 20th Century. Features an incredible specimen of Amethyst hued rock crystal, undulating with variations in density and beautifully treated, framed in the surrounding neutral grey stone from which the rock crystals form under immense geological pressure. Vertically oriented yet substantial and well weighted, this piece displays powerful stability while imbued with mystery and intrigue. When viewed while in motion glittering dots of reflective blue and white light dance off the crystals, interacting with the surrounding environment and delighting the senses. The sleek black lacquer base is custom fitted for the piece and serves as a high quality gallery ready support. This lovely piece will style well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.

- Mid Century Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base by Aharon BezalelBy Aharon BezalelLocated in New York, NYThis unique and beautifully formed Modernist Car Sculpture in Brass on Marble Base is by the artist Aharon Bezalel, originating from Israel created in 1977. The sculpture is composed of multiple interlocking components, each serving as an individual point of intrigue while supporting one another as a finished sculpture. The body of the abstracted automobile appears skeletal and organic, curving dynamically, each component beautifully proportioned to house figures seated at various points both within interior and exterior spaces along the sculpture. Six figures total, the largest sitting up front with one leg extending, nearly scraping along the marble base as though to slow down this surreal vehicle, the other pulled closer to the body. Two additional figures sit behind, knees pulled close to chest, with three even smaller figures huddled together, concealed from the elements by the top sculptural component. The figures inside are visible from a variety of angles through cleverly planned openings that serve as the vehicle's windows. Signed on the rear of the sculpture, AB 77, edition 12/25 and resting on a rectangular white marble base. This brilliant piece will style beautifully in a wide array of interiors and settings, and is sure to draw the eye of sophisticated collectors appreciating the best of the 20th Century...Category
