About the Item

A Kinetic necklace pendant brooch designed by Pol Bury (Belgium 1922-2005). An exceptional, very rare and probably an unique sculptural piece of Cinetic Op-art, created in 1968 by the Belgian Artist Pol Bury. This rare piece is very versatile and can be wear in three different ways since can be converted into a necklace, a pendant or a brooch. Has been carefully crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats and is fitted at the reverse with a hinged double pins bars with a trombone security lock and a long bale to display in a chain or a choker as illustrated. The design of this wearable sculpture is made up of several elements. A platform with multiples triangles manufactured in yellow gold with a highly polished finish, from which is enhanced by 14 articulated movable gold boules. These spheres contrast with the base and move freely in several directions. 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 1960's. Weight: Total of 38.5 Grams (24.68 Dwt). Measurements: 41 mm by 31 mm (1.61 x 1.22 Inches). Size: The wire necklace fit a neck up to 17 Inches (43 Cm) and can be adjustable. Hallmarks: Stamped with multiples French marks, 4 times with the head of the eagle for the assay and warranty of the 18kt gold, the maker's maitre cartouche, the edition numbers and signed, "POL BURY 1/30". 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: From an authorized edition of only 30 pieces. This piece is the number 1, executed by the Galerie Maught, Paris 1968. Note: This piece is the number 1 of the edition of 30. We cannot track any other one with different serial numbers. Most probably (and we are sure) this is an unique piece or a prototype for the projected edition.
