Pol Bury Belgium 1968-2002 Rare Sculptural Kinetic Cuff Two Tones 18Kt Gold

About the Item

A Kinetic cuff bracelet designed by Pol Bury (Belgium 1922-2005). An exceptional and very rare sculptural piece of Cinetic Op-art, created in 1968-2004 by the Belgian Artist Pol Bury. This Spilla Ciondolo bracelet has been carefully crafted in two tones of solid 18 karats gold. The design of this wearable sculpture is made up of several elements. A flat platform manufactured in white gold with a highly polished finish, from which multiple spheres (19) of various sizes in yellow gold emerge. These spheres contrast with the base and move freely on its axis. The sound they produce gives the impression of moving water. The design is based on the model of the famous water fountain designed by Pol Bury in 1968. Has a total weight of 88.5 Grams and fit a wrist up to 7.75 Inches (19.5 Cm) adjustable. The top view measurements are 58 mm by 58 mm (2.28 x 2.28 Inches). Stamped, with the maker's mark, the gold assay hallmark and signed, "POL BURY 7/8 397VR". Pol Bury, is best known for his kinetic sculptures, a belgian artist that began his career as a surrealist painter heavily influenced by the work of rene magritte and yves tanguy. After turning to geometric abstraction and associating briefly with the cobra group, an avant-garde movement that espoused the complete freedom of color and form, bury discovered alexander calder's work and began making mobiles of painted shapes and sculptures in which movement was emphasized. The movements he assigned to these sometimes-monumental works were often slow and almost imperceptible to the naked eye. “Speed limits space; slowness increases it,” he once said. over the course of his career, Bury created a number of fountains that incorporated water into their kinetic workings, including his well known L’octagon (1985) in the city of San Francisco.
