Product description
Sculpture, titled 'Portrait de Michelle', designed by the Spanish artist Miguel Berrocal in 1969. This piece is a complex puzzle sculpture, characteristic of Berrocal's kinetic and constructivist work. It is made of polished, nickel-plated metal, forming an abstract figural bust when assembled. This work possesses a dual nature, blending mechanical art with the intimacy of jewelry. Deep within its intricate, interlocking components, the sculpture conceals a small, functional ring, designed to be removed and worn. This hidden element elevates the piece beyond a simple kinetic object, offering an "âme de bijou" or the "soul of a jewel," a signature concept in many of his creations. The process of disassembly transforms the observer into a participant, uncovering this wearable secret. The work rests on a simple cylindrical base, which contrasts with the intricate form. The piece is signed 'Berrocal' on the neck element, confirming its authenticity. The highly reflective surface and fluid, modern lines are representative of the artist's exploration of form and space.
