Arnaldo Pomodoro (1926-2025) - Sans Titre

Arnaldo Pomodoro was born in Montefeltro in 1926 and spent his childhood and training in Pesaro. Since 1954 he lives and works in Milan. His works from the Fifties are bas-reliefs in which a singular, unprecedented “writing” emerges in sculpture, interpreted in various ways by the leading critics. In the early sixties he confronted tridimensionality and developed research into the forms of solid geometry: spheres, discs, pyramids, cones, columns, cubes—in polished bronze—are torn open, corroded, hollowed at their core, with the aim of breaking their perfection and discovering the mystery enclosed within. The formal contrast between the smooth perfection of the geometric form and the chaotic complexity of the interior will henceforth be a constant in Pomodoro’s production. Emblematic and very rare work by the master, the visual and technical quality employed for the piece is of exceptional level. The edition number may not correspond to the number of the photograph. The provenance of the work is from the Galleria Grafica Manzoni, which issues its certificate of authenticity.
