Georgia Abstract Sculptures

A tall French sculptural iron art piece in a motif of rings from the 1930s-1940s. This unique sculpture from France, standing at approximately 6.6 feet in height, has a playful abstract vertical form made up of a series of rings, with circles clustering together making ball-like formations at the top and lower ends, and supported with a larger ring-shaped base. Within the center of this column-like structure, more circular rings are set in horizontal fashion, appearing to be suspended, reminiscent of steps connecting to upper and lower sections. This piece has been constructed of iron and has a wonderfully aged patina. This whimsical French sculpture would not only be fantastic on a patio, but also a great way to fill an otherwise bare corner in your home with great height, texture and conversational...

A white stoneware vase by American Ceramist Robert Chapman Turner (1913 - 2005). Made between 1970-80s, the group of white-colored vessels with such a funnel form were called either Beach or Shore, obviously inspired by the ocean. Hand sculptured in a simple form with a neck opens to mouth that also can serve as a handle, the surface was always marked with artistic imperfection intended by the artist, such as incision and kiln bubble and burst. On this vase, the artist made several incision lines randomly, and also sparsely applied some tiny sand-like granules, adding a very subtle texture and allude to the scheme of the ocean. Incised signature "Turner" on the base. The vessel is one of the classic forms with variations in Turner's repertoire since 1970s when he started to make non-functional abstract sculptural pieces. Incised signature "Turner" on the base. "In 1971–72, drawn by the power of African sculpture, and wishing to imbue his work with a greater sense of universality, Robert Turner traveled to Nigeria and Ghana. The trip proved transformational. In West Africa he was deeply moved by the way in which art was ingrained in daily experience, and by the beauty of traditional forms of architecture, pottery, ceremonial objects, and decoration. After his return, Turner began to produce series of distinctive vessel types named after African kingdoms and peoples—Ashanti, Ife, Oshogbo, Akan. The first is a squat, lidded pot; the others are cone and cylinder shapes." Smithsonian American Art Museum Robert Turner's work is in numerous museum collections including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City. Several examples of this series are illustrated in the book "Robert Turner Shaping Silence A Life in Clay" by Marsha Miro and Tony Hepburn...
