Sculpture by artist Valeriano Trubbiani

About the Item

Sculpture by master Valeriano Trubbiani. The sculpture depicts an Elephant made of bronze pulling a huge aluminum ball to which it is chained. In this work, the artist's intention to use his art as a means of denouncing injustice comes through perfectly. The sculpture is supposed to have been made in 1981; it has a wooden base where the author's signature is engraved. Valeriano Trubbiani is a prominent Macerata artist who has exhibited his works all over the world. For Trubbiani, art must provoke wounds, and his most distinctive themes are besieged cities, the cruelty of technology, bestiaries and fairy tales, and menacing urban landscapes. In the early 1980s he was called by Federico Fellini to participate in the production of the sets for AND THE SHIP GOES.

  • 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...
