AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A large 1970s brutalist candle holder / wall sculpture, measuring circa 48,7cm in length and weighing 3Kg, in acid-etched and patinated iron.
Henrik Horst is an internationally recognized Danish sculptor and designer, born on November 20, 1942, who achieved significant prominence during the 1960s and 1970s for his characteristic brutalist metal wall sculptures. His abstract reliefs are highly sought after worldwide by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern design.
Horst developed his career during a vibrant era when movements like pop art, minimalism, and brutalism were shaping the art world. He found his unique niche within brutalism, a style that emphasizes raw, rugged, and unrefined materials.
His pieces, usually made of iron or copper, feature intricate geometric configurations and abstract forms. He treated the metals with acid and heat to produce distinctive, patinated and speckled surfaces in warm tones of brown, bronze, and grey.
Condition: Very good, no damages or repairs. Minimal wear commensurate with age.
