About the Item

A bold expression of mid-century artistry, this 1970s brass and iron wall sculpture — styled after the celebrated works of Curtis Jeré and William Friedle Bruce — captures the spirit of modernist design with both elegance and drama. At the heart of the composition rests a textured, three-dimensional brass orb, its warm metallic surface carefully worked to catch and reflect light. From this center, hundreds of individually torch-cut iron wires extend outward in dynamic, varied lengths, their copper-toned finish adding richness and tonal depth. The radiating rods form a commanding sunburst pattern, creating a sense of motion, balance, and vitality — an effect that shifts subtly with changing perspectives and lighting. This piece exemplifies the period’s fascination with sculptural wall art, where industrial materials were transformed into organic, radiant forms. Both decorative and architectural in presence, the sculpture blurs the boundary between fine art and interior design, making it an enduring example of 1970s modernist innovation. Ideal for placement above a console, fireplace, or as a standalone focal point, it brings sophistication and a touch of retro glamour to contemporary interiors. With its combination of scale, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal, this sunburst design is not only a decorative object but also a collectible artwork that reflects the enduring influence of Jeré-inspired creations.
