Description from the seller

This abstract bronze sculpture, made in the second half of the 20th century, presents a stylized and organic form that plays with void and curve as expressive elements. The figure rises with an ascending, almost totemic motion, resting on a tripartite base that gives it stability and a sculptural air very typical of late modernism. The body, reduced to essential lines, suggests a human or anthropomorphic presence without needing to define features, trusting in the purity of the volume to convey balance and internal tension.

The bronze shows a warm polish, with golden reflections that soften the geometry and reveal small traces of time, typical of pieces worked by hand and handled for decades. The central hollow, conceived as part of the formal language, introduces a play of light and shadow that provides depth and dynamism, inviting one to walk around the work and observe it from different angles. That dialogue between mass and void is characteristic of many abstract sculptures in Europe from the mid- to late 20th century, where the form becomes a gesture more than a representation.

The piece shows no visible signature in the image, so it is presented as an unidentified author’s work, something common in studio sculptures or limited editions of the period. Still, it preserves an elegant presence and a clearly artistic intention, with that balance between simplicity and strength that defines good abstract sculptures of the period.

Shipped with tracking and careful packaging.
