About the Item

The rectangular screen’s jagged character speaks to Marsura’s interest in Art Nouveau as well as Brutalism. Vertical iron elements depicting slender stalactites are attached to a fine wire mesh screen, revealing the material’s malleability. The piece is in good vintage condition, featuring fragments of pigment. Salvino Marsura (1938–2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy. Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts. H90 D70 W23cm
