About the Item
Maxine Kim Stussy was a prolific sculptor and painter from the late 1940’s to present. Maxine led an incredibly artistic life traveling the world with her husband at the time, artist Jan Stussy, who headed the art department at UCLA for several decades. Both artists were close associates of Stanton MacDonald Wright, known as one of the greatest American modernist artists, also known as the co creator of the synchronistic movement in the teens with Marcel Duchamp.
Maxine was unrestricted by any singular medium; her sculptures took form in wood assemblage, concrete, bronze and unique nail assemblage. Large size seemed natural to her, and she often created figurative sculpture over 7 feet high. The gallery has represented the original sculpture of Maxine Kim Stussy for many years, and this is the first time we have presented any of her original works on 1st Dibs.
“The Guardian” is a large nail assemblage sculpture by Maxine Kim Stussy. Constructed on a solid steel plate, and like “Kicking Dancer”, it is a fully unique work, conceived in the late 1970’s and measuring 83” inches high. The sculpture is also inlaid with thousands of individual pieces of metal, screws, nails and metal fragments.
This is an opportunity to own a true work of original California Modernism, a certificate of authenticity and provenance accompanies the sale.
