Product description
This sculpture is a characteristic piece of Brutalist and Studio Metal art from the 1970s and 80s. It consists of many individual, hand-hammered metal segments, artfully joined with small brass rivets. The visible seams, the organic form, and the irregular structures demonstrate its entirely handcrafted nature—not an industrial product, but a true one-of-a-kind piece.
... Stylistically, it belongs to the same category as the well-known "Patchwork Metal Apples & Pears,"
which are collected internationally.
