Metaphysical sculpture by Artist Mario Rosso with silver and quartz details

About the Item

Metaphysical style sculpture signed by artist Mario Rosso. The sculpture features a triangular wooden base on which towers a painted metal pyramid decorated with silver and a large quartz crystal. The metaphysical-style painting on the sculpture, depicts a desert landscape, with rocks being made to descend from the sky rather than the earth. Metaphysical painting an avant-garde pictorial current widespread practically only in Italy, depicts objects sharply and statically, but going beyond their merely physical-realistic appearance. Highly impactful and reflective, the sculpture is a curious object and ideal for adding distinctiveness to your environments. Unfortunately, although the signature is present, we still have no relevant notions about the artist that can place him in a specific period and scope. Also present under the base are a stamp of the Art Gallery of origin and a label saying Misani Gioielli probably the maker of the silver detailing application. The work can be placed in the two decades from the 1970s to the 1990s.

  • Black Geometric Sculpture by Ursula Meyers Conceptual Artist
    By Ursula Meyer
    Located in Stamford, CT
    Black geometric sculpture by Ursula Meyers conceptual Artist. Ursula Meyer (1915-2003) American sculpture signed and dated. This monumental geometric form sculpture is one the first work of art ever offered for sale, only at Greenwich Living, by renowned artist Ursula Meyer. Provenance: From the Estate of Ann Pollon Re: The Collection of Ursula Meyer. Descendant. Acquired from the Artist Studio. Ursula Meyer was a German-born American sculptor, art-focused academician, and fine art critic, who proved an influential player in the transmission of and appreciation for European born Modernism to the United States in the post-World War II era. At first a ceramicist beholden to the teachings of 1930s Germany’s Bauhaus and Italy’s Futurists, she eventually became a creator and exponent of a crisp, geometry-focused sculptural lexicon in ceramics, and later wood and metal sculpture. Her legacy includes a decades-long exploration of Minimalism, as well as experimentations in creating and deciphering Conceptual and Expressive genres. Born in Hanover, Germany in 1915 to Ernst Josef Meyer and Elsa Katzenstein, Ursula Meyer is recorded as having “studied with former Bauhaus masters after the Bauhaus itself had closed under threat of National Socialism” in 1933. Spanning the years 1934 through 1937, Ursula’s Bauhaus tutorial is not fully documented, but it may well have included at least brief study with the French-born Marguerite Friedlaender Wildenhain (1896-1985), the first woman to earn the Master Potter certification in Germany, and who worked with Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Max Kehan and Gerhard Marcks (1889-1981). Meyer is recorded as having directly worked with Marcks, as well as with Otto Lindig...
