About the Item

Redolent of the industrial age, this sculpture borrows the language of machinery and construction; here iron has been worked to resemble a cog or another indispensable part of an engine. The piece is tinted in places with enamel pigments and is in good condition. 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. H56 W26 D15cm
