This monumental wood sculpture by Leroy Setziol (1915–2005) is a rare and significant early commission, created in 1963 for the National Bank of Portland, Oregon. Measuring an impressive 191" x 31" x 7", the piece marks a pivotal moment in Setziol’s career as he transitioned into large-scale architectural work—integrating fine art with the built environment in a way that would define his legacy. Carved in his signature style of deeply incised geometric forms and rhythmic abstraction, the panel reflects Setziol’s exploration of nature, spirituality, and cultural symbolism. Commissioned during a period of progressive architectural development in the Pacific Northwest, the work exemplifies the region’s modernist ethos—where art and architecture were conceived in harmony. Setziol would go on to complete numerous public commissions, collaborating with leading architects such as Pietro Belluschi and becoming one of the most influential wood sculptors of the 20th century. Early, large-scale works like this are exceptionally rare on the market and offer a unique opportunity to own a foundational piece of Pacific Northwest modernism. This sculpture is not only a stunning example of Setziol’s craft—it is a historical artifact from a turning point in American architectural and design history. The following is taken from the Portland Art Museum's profile of Leroy Setziol for their exhibit in 2015-16 celebrating the 100th year anniversary of his birth "Leroy Setziol" Sept 5, 2015 – Oct 30, 2016 "A composer in wood, Leroy Setziol created lyrical sculpture that honors the beauty of a material strongly identified with the Northwest. The black walnut, teak, fir, and other woods he employed enhanced his complex gridded compositions, bringing them to life. A self-taught, intuitive worker, Setziol visualized his complex carvings using the grid as an armature to frame imaginative shapes. Throughout his career, his sculpture ranged from intimate works to large-scale public commissions. The largest work on display is an elegant, teak, two-panel wall relief from 1991. Twenty-three works are on view, including free-standing sculpture, totems, and a variety of wall reliefs. Setziol’s sculpture gained greater recognition with Portland’s architectural community in 1964 when he was invited by Northwest Regionalist architect John Storrs to carve a series of large-scale relief panels for Salishan Lodge in Gleneden Beach...

An early 1970s pottery landscape mosaic by celebrated artist and potter Louis Mendez. This piece was made by Mendez for a close friend of his that he met while taking a lithography class in Orange County, NY in 1973-74. Condition on the mosaic is fantastic. Biography of Louis Mendez copied from his namesake website. Louis Mendez: August 7, 1929 - July 27, 2012 Louis Mendez was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan of Puerto Rican, Spanish and Irish heritage. He spent his early years in Spanish Harlem, where his family owned a restaurant at 108th and Madison. In the mid-1930s, his family sold the business and moved to Goshen, NY, where his high school teachers recognized his unusual talent in drawing and sculpture. Louis went on to earn BFA ('52) and MFA ('54) degrees from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. His years there were deeply formative, as he became a protégé and friend of Professors Charles Harder and Daniel Rhodes, influential authors and among the mid-century leaders of the American studio ceramics movement. While still a student at Alfred, Louis began driving into Manhattan with a trunk full of his newly minted pottery...
