Both pieces are stamped with the edition numbers. Liuba Wolf She born as Liuba Boyadjieva in Sofia Bulgaria in 1923. She was raised in a privileged, cultivated milieu by a writer mother and industrialist father who (he also played the violin) instilled in her a taste for music. The artist received a humanistic education, studying Greek and Latin and mastering the piano. When her family moved to Geneva, she attended art school and developed a special interest in sculpture. Later, she studied in Zurich under Germaine Richier (1904-1958), a renowned artist of the Paris School. This contact with Germaine Richier had a strong impact on Liuba Boyadjieva’s education as a modern sculpture and left a deep imprint on her understanding of sculpture. In those years, in Zurich, she was also in contact with a group of important artists, like, among others, Marino Marini and Arthur Honnegger. At the end of the war, when Richier reopened her atelier in Paris, Liuba moved to the French capital and continued her studies with her teacher until 1949. Her social circle in France included Zadkine, Viera da Silva, Alberto Magnelli, among others. She traveled often throughout Europe and visited the most important museums. Liuba Boyadjieva came to Brazil, married the industrialist and collector Ernesto Wolf in 1958, and lived between São Paulo and Paris, keeping studios in both cities. She became a naturalized Brazilian citizen. She developed a personal way of working her sculptures and achieved full artistic maturity. In the 1960s and 1970s, Liuba Wolf exhibited her work in several cities around the world and achieved international recognition. In 2001, on the occasion of her exhibition at Achim Moeller Fine Art. Rizzoli (New York) published a book celebrating Wolf’s art and featuring Sam Hunter’s essay “Liuba: At the Edge of Abstraction.” Among the central features of Liuba Wolf’s work are her expressive power, the surface’s play between the smooth and the textured, and rusticity. Verticality is another key characteristic, as well as the gesturalism of the forms. Figurative early on in her career, Wolf’s works became abstracted starting in the 1950s, but there always remained an archaic memory that referred back to primitive archetypes. Some critics, like Sam Hunter, see in those shapes a reference to pre-Columbian realities. Another highlight is a degree of surrealism in Wolf’s abstraction, yet critics mostly underscore the fact that she situated her sculptures at the border between abstraction and figuration, as well as the force of imagination in the conception of the works. On more than one occasion Liuba Wolf said that her forms are born from the subconscious. For her, they are “bugs”, animals, but they can also be plants or roots. They could be totems, in a symbiosis between the animal and the plant worlds, according to another observer, artist Emmanoel Araújo. Liuba Wolf stated once in an interview that her work “finds inspiration in natural shapes.” The exhibition at the Lasar Segall...

  • Banded Rodochrosite 18kt Yellow Gold Contemporary Pendant Necklace
    By Nathalie Jean
    Located in Milan, Lombardia
    DISCO is a contemporary pendant necklace in 18kt yellow gold and banded rodochrosite. Rarely found in its pure state, Rhodochrosite is a predominantly rose-red coloured mineral. The more common “banded” form is adorned with linear patterns in stunning hues that range from pink, cherry-red and yellow to grey, cinnamon-brown and white. A work of perfection crafted by nature, it is further enhanced when backlit, some areas becoming translucent, others as transparent as rock crystal. For this collection, a simple polished disc of the crystal is attached to a minimalistic bail that allows it to slide along the gold chain of the necklace or around the gold circles of the earrings, spinning hypnotically on itself in the process. Disco—the Italian word for a disc shape—also means a record, a disc with a hole in the middle, just like these mini pendants. More universally, Disco refers to the 1970s music stylistically based on psychedelic soul… which brings us full circle back to Rhodochrosite’s psychedelic motifs! Adjustable length at 395 and 420mm.
