About the Item
This striking abstract sculpture dates from the 1950s and embodies the expressive spirit of post-war modernism. Carved from solid wood and finished in a deep, dark stain, the work reveals a powerful interplay of mass and void, with fluid, organic contours punctuated by a pierced opening that invites light and shadow to animate the form. The sculpture’s silhouette shifts dramatically depending on the viewing angle, evoking both human and architectural references while remaining resolutely abstract. Its surface bears subtle tool marks and natural irregularities, adding warmth and tactility to the otherwise bold, sculptural presence. With its strong proportions and timeless aesthetic, this piece resonates with the era’s fascination for biomorphic forms and would sit comfortably alongside works by artists influenced by Brancusi or early modernist sculptors, though the designer remains unknown. A compelling statement object, ideal for a pedestal display, private collection, or contemporary interior seeking a sculptural focal point.
