Artist Ernest Tino Trova - Falling Man Medallion - 1970s Art Jewelry Pendant

About the Item

Artist Ernest "Tino" Trova (1927-2009), Art Jewelry Falling Man in circle enamel and gold plate pendant, necklace or brooch. Walking figure in gold tone, with red ball on chest, background color of black, with concentric rings of white, red and blue. Also shown for reference only, is a 1967 limited edition silkscreen on canvas, reminiscent of this piece of art Jewelry. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ernest Trova was among the most widely acknowledged sculptors working in the United States, resulting in invitations to exhibit in three Whitney Annuals, three Venice Biennales, and Documenta 4 in Kassel, Germany. In 1969 his work was heralded by the New York Times as “among the best of contemporary American sculpture,” and throughout those decades examples of his art were prominently displayed in dozens of major museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Trova’s life-size bronze, Study/Falling Man (Wheelman), once greeted visitors at the Guggenheim’s 5th Avenue entrance, and for more than twenty years he was represented by the estimable Pace Gallery, which inaugurated its first New York space with an exhibition of his work.
