Wrought and welded iron sculpture, made in Italy in the 1950s/60s, attributed to Marcello Fantoni. The work is characterized by a brutalist and gestural construction, achieved through the assembly of plates, curved elements, and exposed welds.
The material language and plastic approach are closely reminiscent of iron sculptures signed by Marcello Fantoni in the same period, although this work has no visible signature. Its compositional complexity, expressive force and original patina make it a rare example of postwar Italian sculptural art, traceable to the Tuscan circle active between ceramics and artistic iron.
Marcello Fantoni (Florence, 1915-2011) was an Italian artist and designer known for his eclectic production in ceramics, metal and glass. After studying at the Art Institute in Florence, he founded his own workshop in 1936, distinguishing himself through an innovative language that blends Tuscan craftsmanship with modern design. In the 1950s and 1960s he also turned his attention to iron sculpture, creating works with a brutalist style, often unique, characterized by rough welds, broken shapes, and oxidized surfaces. His works can be found in international museums and collections.
