About the Item

Iron here is held in compositional tension. Repeated loops, circles reiterate across this sculpture, creating a rhythm that contrasts the metal’s weight. Balancing rigidity with flow, this cascade is held in momentary suspension. The structure is in good condition, with some 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.
