Splendid pair of abstract wall sculptures (diptych) in Mid-Century Modern style, dating back to the 1960s/70s. These pieces represent the excellence of 20th century artistic craftsmanship, characterized by fluid organic shapes that recall the biomorphic style of masters such as Alexandre Noll or the productions of the great French and Scandinavian ateliers of the time.
Details of the work:
Material: High quality solid wood (probably Mahogany or Rosewood), characterized by a deep flamed grain and a splendid natural patina. Authenticity: One of the two pieces bears the artist's original signature and numbering on the back ("9 Cy"), guaranteeing the originality of the pair and its nature as an atelier work.
Manufacturing: Monoxyle sculptures (obtained from a single block), hand-crafted with a smooth finish on the front surfaces and "sharp" cuts at the ends, to underline the materiality of the work.
Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. They have a small area of natural wear on the surface finish which attests to their age and authenticity (easily uniformed with beeswax).
Dimensions and Weight:Height: 57 cmWidth: 11 cmWeight: Over 1 kg (the pair)
Design Notes:These works are designed to be hung (original wooden hooks on the back), creating a dynamic play of empty and full spaces.
