About the Item

Extraordinary engraved glass sculpture-plate signed by Arnaldo Pomodoro, one of the most important figures of Italian contemporary art and sculpture. The work features a flat, circular surface enriched with geometric and graphic bas-reliefs typical of the artist's language, where abstract and symbolic forms intertwine in a radial composition of great visual impact. The transparent glass, skillfully worked, alternates smooth and sandblasted surfaces, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. The artist's engraved signature is clearly visible along the rim. This piece combines the material purity of glass with the sculptural complexity of Pomodoro's sign-making, resulting not only in a fine decorative element but also in a tangible testimony to his unmistakable style.

Minor signs of age may be present, which do not affect its functionality. We kindly invite you to consider these characteristics before purchasing. Arnaldo Pomodoro is one of the foremost Italian sculptors of the 20th century, renowned for his innovative and symbolic approach to sculpture. His works are characterized by the use of rigorous geometric forms-such as spheres, cubes, and pyramids-often treated in a way that conceals more complex elements within, such as fissures and engravings. This duality between exterior and interior, between smooth surface and the "excavated" core of the sculpture, is one of the distinguishing features of his art, which invites the viewer to reflect on the dimensions of time, the invisible, and transformation. Pomodoro maintained a close relationship with architecture and design, working alongside other designers and artists, including those active in industrial design. An example of this collaboration is his connection with Scarpa, a designer who, like Pomodoro, explored the interaction between art and everyday objects. In the field of design, Pomodoro did not limit himself to monumental sculptures but also conceived objects such as boxes, tables, and other furnishings, combining his artistic vision with functional design. His work with Edizioni Ars D Milano, which produced limited-edition design objects, is a clear example of how Pomodoro explored the fusion of sculptural art with utilitarian objects, creating unique and refined pieces that entered the panorama of contemporary design. These collaborations demonstrate his versatility and interest in taking sculpture beyond traditional boundaries, transforming it into furnishing elements and objects for everyday use, while always maintaining a strong symbolic and artistic component. His ability to interact with designers and architects allowed him to create works that enriched not only public spaces but also private environments, establishing a dialogue between sculpture, design, and architecture.
