Large 1980's Marc Creates Brutalist Torch Cut Metal Nail Tree Sculpture

About the Item

A monumental testament to mid-century Brutalism, this wall sculpture—designed by Marc Weinstein for Marc Creates in the 1970s—reimagines nature through industrial form. Its structure is composed of welded metal nails, each serving as both root and branch in a stylized, architectural tree. Interspersed among the textured metal tendrils are circular leaf-like clusters, lavishly accented in glowing gold tones that offer a radiant counterpoint to the raw, metallic intensity of the nails. Meticulously crafted through manual brazing—an intricate process involving oxygen and acetylene torchwork—each component was attended to with careful intention, giving the work a vibrant energy and compelling presence. 49.25" High x 36.25" Wide x 4.5" Deep About Marc Weinstein: Artist and inventor Mark Weinstein of Saint Louis Missouri, established Marc Creates Inc. in 1967. Ten years prior, Mark was fresh out of High School and had just decided to go to work with his father who owned a scrap metal yard. His father's scrap yard soon became the catalyst for Weinstein's inventive art. After Weinstein began working for his father at Federal Salvage and Supply in St. Louis in 1957, he had a hard time seeing the scrap metal as mere junk to be sold for weight. Weinstein began experimenting with different welding techniques after learning the basics from a local handyman. Welding brought Weinstein's artistic abilities to the surface and by the early 1960s, he was transforming scrap metal into works of art.
