AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Mid-Century Bronze Sculpture – Couple of Acrobats / Dancers in Lift – Giacometti/Gargallo Style, H 37 cm
Lot Description
Description:
Superb figurative sculpture cast in dark-toned, nuanced bronze patina, depicting a couple of artists (acrobats or dancers) in the midst of a performance. The lower figure is kneeling, in a pose of strength and stability, supporting the upper figure that rises with grace and dynamism, arms and one leg raised in a motion of flight.
The work is distinguished by its elongated, stylized aesthetic, recalling the modernist movement and the works of sculptors such as Alberto Giacometti for its elongation, or Pablo Gargallo for its play of semi-abstract forms and the dynamism of motion. The patina shows tonal variations, from deep black to gold-toned and copper reflections (visible in close-up detail photos), highlighting the fluid modeling and the simplified yet powerful anatomical details.
It is a piece of great refinement, perfect for a modern art collection or to bring a touch of elegance to a contemporary interior.
Features and Visual Details (Based on photos):
Subject: Duo of acrobats or dancers en lifted pose.
Material: Cast bronze (very convincing visual appearance, with an authentic patina).
Style: Modernist, late Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern. Elongated, dynamic, semi-abstract.
Technical Details: Note the textured surfaces and the small surface imperfections inherent to casting and hand-work (visible up close), which add to the unique character of the piece. The patina shows areas of natural aging with bluish and coppery reflections.
Dimensions:
Height: 37 cm (large for a desktop piece).
Maximum width: About 10 cm (width of the ground footprint and the upper figure’s movement).
Condition:
The sculpture is in very good original condition, with a rich and well-preserved patina. There are no cracks, breaks, or visible restorations. The detailed photos are an integral part of the description and show the actual condition from different angles.
Estimated Era:
Mid-20th century (circa 1950 – 1970).
