About the Item
A Kinetic spikes pendant-brooch designed by Pol Bury (Belgium 1922-2005).
An exceptional and very rare sculptural piece of Kinetic and Op-art, created in 1968-2004 by the Belgian Artist Pol Bury. This SPIKES TREMBLANT pendant brooch has been carefully crafted in solid white gold of 18 karats with very high polished finish and elements in yellow gold. It is fitted at the reverse with a fixed bale to wear in a chain or necklace and a hinged horizontal bar with a lock to wear as a brooch.
The design of this wearable sculpture is made up of several elements. A concave circular platform from which multiple tubular spikes of various sizes emerge. These spikes contrast with the base and move freely on its base. They move in tremblant and the sound they produce gives the impression of moving water since the design was based on the model of the famous water fountain designed by Pol Bury in 1968 (See figures).

Stamped, with the maker's mark, the gold assay hallmark and signed twice, "POL BURY 11/11 PA 287VR .750".
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.
Note: This piece from a closed edition of only 8 pieces and 2 artist proof. This piece is the number 2, executed by Marylart Paris 2004.
