Product description
This is a sculptural object by the Dutch artist Joek van Draanen, made of glass and metal. The work depicts an open book, a characteristic theme in the artist's oeuvre, where materiality and form come together in a poetic expression.
The artwork is composed of multiple layers of sandblasted or frosted glass, which form the pages of the book. These 'pages' are held together by a central structure of patinated bronze, which has a vibrant green and turquoise color due to oxidation. The base is a solid, rectangular glass plate that provides stability. The combination of the translucent, cool glass and the warm, weathered metal creates a captivating visual contrast.
The object is in excellent condition, with the patina on the bronze being an integral part of the artistic concept and contributing to the character of the piece. The glass elements are intact and show the careful finish typical of Van Draanen's work. The whole is a robust yet refined creation.
This glass book is an autonomous art object that looks beautiful on a sideboard, in a display cabinet, or on a desk. It fits seamlessly into a modern, minimalist, or eclectic interior where it adds a subtle yet intellectual accent.
