In the style of or possibly by Paul Evans this MAGNIFICENT TOWER STRUCTURE!
IRON, BRASS, BRONZE & WOOD BASE
CIRCA 1956
Similar to Diego Giacometti
Approximate Dimensions: Large 57" tall tower/ 10" Wide & Deep
This is the Holy Grail for Mid Century abstract sculpture collectors! Here, an epic, structure of worked metal as a tower in a raw burst of visual excitement!
This abstract sculpture is the epitome of Brutalism.
This is the sort of art that found its way into the best collections of the period. Philip Johnson, John Entenza and other mid century art icons had similar works in their extensive modern art collections.
Very much in the manner of the worked metal sculptures of Paul Evans and Diego Giacometti who shaped metal with this new modern creativity!
During the 1950s sculpture actually supplanted paintings in many of the world's finest galleries and had greater influence in the popular cultural expression of the period.
With this metal sculpture, iron has been fused with alloys to create a towering structure! It rests on four elongated pieces of metal
and appears to defy gravity and float in space!
This work is a symphony of texture and perspectives!
Layers of horizontal and vertical patterns of metal give the eye an endless variety of visual depths and make this piece a true vision!
This rare & marvelous metal work is in fine vintage condition! So few of these larger mid century metal sculptures have survived. No visible identification markings. Typical age wear to the metal and wood. Metal work still is very structurally sound.
This piece perhaps typifies and encapsulates the NY modern art scene in the fifties. This is truly a significant & important acquisition for the discerning collector!
This will make a powerful visual and artistic statement in your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate!

The piece is in excellent overall condition. One of the legs have deteriorated where the iron sits inside of the base. The structure sits solid and very sturdy in its raw wooden base. There is working hardware for two lightbulbs. The original hardware is in good working order. This lamp is in the condition "as found".
