Striking and exceptionally substantial Alexander Danel “Lovers” sculpture for Austin Productions, dated 1990, featuring a dramatically stylized couple intertwined in an intimate embrace.

At an impressive 20 inches tall, 12 inches wide and approximately 16 pounds, this is a commanding sculptural work with tremendous visual presence. Danel reduces the human figures into sweeping geometric planes and exaggerated curves, creating a composition that feels simultaneously romantic, architectural and distinctly modernist.

The intertwined bodies appear to flow into one another, while angular facial features, sharply modeled shoulders and broad abstracted forms give the sculpture wonderful Cubist and Art Deco-inspired character. It is particularly effective when viewed from different directions, with each angle revealing a completely different arrangement of curves, negative space and overlapping forms.

The sculpture has been fully restored and refinished in a sophisticated cement-gray tone using a textured sand acrylic finish that beautifully complements its stone-like Durastone construction. The surface has then been protected with a substantial non-yellowing, UV-resistant clear finish, designed to preserve its restored appearance for years to come.

The black base provides a dramatic contrast to the soft gray sculpture and emphasizes its gallery-like presentation. New protective felt has been added underneath, and the original Austin Productions identification label has been carefully preserved and reattached.

This sculpture is part of my ongoing restoration collection, created to preserve vintage decorative art and return deserving pieces to beautiful display condition. I have restored over 50 sculptures.

Any photographs showing furniture or additional décor are included only to demonstrate styling and scale. Only the sculpture is included with the purchase. See less
