Make a bold architectural statement with this monumental post-modern wall sculpture from the prestigious Marquis Collection of Beverly Hills. This high-relief piece is a sophisticated homage to the Spanish Cubist master Juan Gris, specifically reinterpreting his iconic 1913 still life compositions of musical instruments.

The artwork is masterfully constructed using tessellated stone and marble veneers, a signature technique of the Marquis Collection during the 1980s and 1990s. The collage features a rich, organic palette of ivory, beige, chocolate brown, and black stone, hand-cut and inlaid to create a multi-dimensional scene of a guitar and violin. The varied textures and sharp geometric planes characteristic of Synthetic Cubism are brought to life in three dimensions, making this a true focal point for any modern or contemporary interior.

Condition:
This sculpture is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting only the minor surface wear expected with a well-preserved piece of this age.
Veneer: The stone and marble veneers remain tightly adhered with no signs of lifting, cracking, or major chips.
Edges: The sharp, architectural edges of the raised elements are exceptionally clean and well-preserved.
Structural: The back panel is straight and stable. The piece retains its original Marquis Collection of Beverly Hills gold foil label on the reverse, verifying its authenticity.
Note: This is a substantial and very heavy piece; professional mounting into wall studs is required for safe display.

Dimensions: 33.5”W x 2”D x 42.5”H
