About the Item
Luciano Minguzzi (1911-2004) was born into a family of artists. He studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna where he trained under Giorgio Morandi and Roberto Longhi. After moving to Paris in 1948, he created works depicting acrobats, contortionists, and children at play.
In 1950 he was awarded the grand prize for sculpture at the XXV Venice Biennale. From the 1950s through the 1960s, at the beginning of the Cold War era, his sculptures evolved in tone, making gestural references to warfare. It was also at this time that he introduced bas-relief into his work, often made of bronze with iron inserts. His works can be found in the Museum of the Fabbrica del Duomo, the Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art in the Vatican, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, among other institutions.
A substantial sculpture of fused and overlapping bronze pieces. Over time, the heavily textured surface has attained a subtle verdigris patina. Signed.
