About the Item

A small sculpture defined by its opening fold, Poeta focuses on the materiality of iron, how it curves, bends and how its weight behaves within a cantilevered construction. The piece features coloured pigments. It is in good condition with some scuffs, featuring patination true to its age. 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. H27 W14 D20cm
