Sol Garson Signed Sculptural Chair 1970s Art Hand Carved Wood Sculpture Mandela
Located in London, GB
A unique museum piece with historical and political value especially for the latest BLM movement. This artwork by Sol Garson is a sculptural stained hand-carved wood chair, representing a prisoner and the struggles of Nelson Mandela as well as black people during during the apartheid. Inspired by the struggles of Nelson Mandela, the chair is masterfully sculpted with intentionally chiselled effect surface and lacquered with a smooth patina touch, a caged back and base, in which lies a spherical sculpted ball with three faces. The round seat is upholstered with an embossed faux leather. It is signed at the bottom "Sol Garson 74”. The chair, despite its artistic leanings, is also very comfortable and stable. It can be easily placed on any interior space as it's very discreet and muted on colour. Born 1923, Garson was a glassworker for much of his life based in Manchester. One of his most famous works is the wooden sculpture of Nelson Mandela, which was placed in Manchester Town Hall’s main entrance area in 1986, to be later given to Nelson Mandela himself where it still resides today in Mandela's estate. Sol Garson also produced a memorial to the International Brigades...
