20th Century Outsider Art Sculpture

This studio art assemblage presents a cast cobalt-blue glass anatomical form mounted on a painted wooden base. The work exemplifies the raw, intuitive aesthetic of Outsider Art, with its bold material juxtaposition and unmediated execution.

Materials & Technique:

- Primary element: Hand-cast glass leg with fluid surface imperfections characteristic of small-batch studio glass

- Base: Polychrome wooden stand featuring expressionist brushwork

- Construction: Direct adhesive mounting shows artist's hand in assembly

Provenance & Attribution:

- Original gallery inventory tag preserved on underside (unidentified gallery)

- Unsigned, consistent with many Outsider Art traditions

- Circa late 20th century based on material aging and construction methods

Condition:

- In good vintage condition

- Surface wear commensurate with age:

• Mild scuffing to painted wooden base

• Expected minor surface irregularities in cast glass

• Stable structural integrity

Exhibition Note:

Final photograph demonstrates the work's remarkable chromatic properties under natural daylight, with included egg providing organic scale reference.

Dimensions:

18.75" H × 12.25" W × 3.6" D

(47.6 × 31.1 × 9.1 cm)

Special Considerations:

This piece represents a compelling example of vernacular surrealism, its disquieting corporeal imagery balanced by the found-object sensibility characteristic of the best Outsider Art traditions. See less
