Enameled Steel and Plexiglas 'De Stijl' Style Light Sculpture, Italy, 1970

About the Item

Beautiful large-scale Italian light sculpture dating from the 1970s clearly reflecting the influence of the Dutch 'De Stijl' movement and very much in the style of the work of the 'De Stijl' artists Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg and Mondrian with nods also to the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. Please see image three which illustrates the oil painting titled 'composition number vii, the three graces' by Theo Van Doesberg from 1917. This light can be used equally as both a wall applique or a table lamp. The form comprises a black enameled steel 'De Stijl' style relief cut frame with a series of inset red and blue plexiglass diffusers of varying dimensions held in position and suspended on a series of internal springs. The internal fluorescent light source is reflected by a series of internal mirrors onto the rear of the plexiglass diffusers to further enhance the intensity of the lighting effect. The internal light source is provided by a pair of fluorescent tubes complete with period 1970s ballast and starter unit, all in fully working order. The light sculpture works perfectly as it is for our European clients who have a 220-240V electrical power supply. A 240V-110V step down transformer will be needed for our clients in the U.S.A if they want to keep and use the original fluorescent light tubes, ballast unit and starter. A small and discrete step down transformer which plugs directly into an 110V wall outlet can be purchased cheaply and easily via amazon. I can help source this.

Werner Epstein kinetic light sculpture, Exhibited Salon Des Artistes, Paris, 1972

By Werner Epstein

Located in bergen op zoom, NL

PLEASE refer to the uloaded video of this light sculpture in operation, it creates a stunning otherwordly swirling ethereal lighting effect like a monochrome aurora borealis. Here we have an example of the very rare and famous light sculpture created by the artist Werner Epstein and edited in a very small edition by 'Inter Neo', France in 1970. It is both beautiful in its elegant sculptural form and in its magical , ethereal lighting effect. This design was exhibited at the 1972 'Salon des Artistes et Decorateurs' held at the Grand Palais des champs Elysees in Paris, and is published in the original exhibition catalogue. Please see scan from exhibition catalogue. PLEASE SEE IMAGE 5 Unfotunately the static images can only capture just a very basic static idea of some of the light formations created as the sculptural spiral aluminum element slowly rotates as it captures the rising thermal energy emitted by the concealed incandescent light bulb in the base , there is no motor , just pure physics and poetry in motion. I have to repeat that the static photos really do not do this beautiful design any justice at all, the slowly evolving swirling ribbons of light reflecting off the surface of the slowly rotating aluminum spiral create a magical , organic and otherworldly lighting effect which is initially captured on the polished surface of the spiral element itself before being thrown outward as continuous swirling ribbons of light which are captured on the surfaces of the walls, floor and ceiling creating an extremely ethereal ,soothing and meditative lighting effect.. This is one of the most famous ,beautiful and rare of all the French avant garde lighting...
