AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Work and Style;
Up for auction is an authentic icon of Italian Modernism from the 1970s: a zoomorphic sculpture in the shape of a horse's head, entirely carved from fine travertine marble.
This piece perfectly embodies the brutalist aesthetic of the era, characterized by a minimal, strict geometric silhouette, which plays on the contrast between the purity of the lines and the porous, tactile texture rich in natural cavities typical of sedimentary rock.
Originally conceived as a bookend or desk sculpture, today it is a highly sophisticated collectible art piece, capable of enhancing any contemporary or Mid-Century Modern interior.
