About the Item
Exceptional mid-century plaster sculpture, crafted in France in the 1950s.
This striking biomorphic form displays intersecting curves, carved recesses, and a dynamic sense of movement, characteristic of the organic abstraction explored in postwar French sculpture. The piece offers a compelling dialogue between mass and void, with a silhouette that shifts beautifully under changing light.
The surface retains its superb original patina, with warm ochre and chalky tones typical of aged plaster. Both sculptural and architectural, the work has a presence that feels at once primitive and modern.
At the base, the sculpture bears an indecipherable signature, suggesting an individual studio production rather than workshop fabrication.
A powerful statement piece for a refined interior, gallery setting, or mid-century art collection.
