A Two-piece Renato Anatra Gymnast Dancer Sculpture by Murano Art Glass, Signed

About the Item

An Incredible Mid-Century Two-piece Renato Anatra Gymnast Dancer Sculpture by Murano Art Glass, Signed. This crystal pair of gymnasts is a sculpture by Renato Anatra and is a dynamic, elegant display of artistry and acrobatics. Produced in the Hollywood Regency style, this sculpture is a quintessential example of Mid-Century Modern aesthetics and social interests. The couple is seen in an acrobatic embrace: the figure standing on the plinth leans back to support the weight of the second figure whose body forms an aerial semicircle. Torsos in direct contact, the positioning of the figures is intimate, jubilant, and expressive. When the two figures are separated, the standing figure stretches out its arms, gazing to the heavens, while the second figure forms an arch on the ground beneath the plinth. Signed by the artist on the plinth, the sculpture is one of Renato Anatra’s finest. As a prolific Italian glassblower, Anatra is known for his work’s fluidity, physicality, and romance. Italy, Circa: 1980
