Giacomo Manzù, "Untitled", or Homage to Picasso (Hommage à Picasso), 1973

About the Item

Etching and aquatint by the acclaimed Italian sculptor, Giacomo Manzù (1908-1991). Remembered primarily for his revival of the ancient Italian tradition of crafting sculptural bronze doors for revered municipal and religious buildings in Rome, his most notable work was a commission from the Catholic Church for the entrance to St Peters Basilica in Vatican City. This is an example of his sculptural eye adapting to the flat surface. In this work, Homage to Picasso (1973), his gestural penmanship jumps from the white ground to depict a couple's embrace. Despite their closeness neither figure looks to each other. Instead focussing on something in the distance out of frame. What seems a romantic coupling is disturbed by the unknown. Displaying his familiarity with Hellenistic frieze technique, the russet ground covering the top third of the image is artfully used to add further detail to the hair. Dimensions are of the frame. Reframed on request.

Begga D’Haese, "Untitled" Pink Collage (c.2005)
Located in London, England
A beautiful, geometric yet delicate collage, primarily of aged parchment and pink dye, on wood. This piece is one of few examples of D'Haese's (1934-2023), in collage. Known primarily for her tongue in cheek large-scale marble sculptures. This piece is more contemplative. Playing with ideas of the 70s, and onwards, influenced by Agnes Martin and the like, this piece is directly playing with the feminine. Delicate semi-circles lift from the ground divided into four quadrants, sometimes plain, sometimes heavily textured. The composition is complex yet undeniably playful. Different relationships are developed between each of the semi-circles, as well as amongst the complete whole, resulting in the harmonious total. Extremely compelling, and neutral for almost any space. The piece is in an acrylic box...
