About the Item

Using a rounded lightweight mesh as support, Marsura manipulated slim segments of iron to depict slender stalactites, revisiting an earlier design from the 1970s. The forms that he alighted on reveal the material’s versatility and hark back to the Art Nouveau movement. 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. H45 W74 D12cm
