Francois Melin Brutalist Gold Grasshopper Table, 1970

About the Item
An exceptional brass and steel Grasshopper table created by the renowned French Sculptor and Artist, Francois Melin in the 1970s'. The table has been hand crafted by Melin using individual pieces of brass, shaped to form the various sections of the Grasshopper, and then fused together to bring the creation to life, the body also supports the smoked glass top that is also present. Francois Melin is considered to be one of the most important and influential artists/sculptors of his generation and sits alongside the likes of Richard & Isabelle Faure, Henri Fernandez and Jaques Duval-Brasseur. His works are in huge demand and are hard to find on the open market, this piece in particular is extremely rare and a much sought after piece by collectors of high end Brutalist sculpture and furniture.
