… Read more This rare Brutalist sculpture was designed by the Danish artist Børge Jørgensen (1926-1998) and manufactured in Denmark in the 1980s.

The work is constructed from a combination of polished and brushed steel elements and is characterized by a vertically oriented, architectural composition consisting of geometric and oval crescent shapes.

It stands on a square metal pedestal.

The interplay between the matte and reflective finishes enhances the dynamic surface of the sculpture, creates shifting reflections, and emphasizes the material contrasts.

The work embodies the Brutalist aesthetic through its raw expression, assertive material presence, and austere formal language.

The abstraction, the focus on volume and emptiness, and the structural complexity connect it to both modernist and constructivist sculptural traditions. Jørgensen's design displays a keen sense of balance and rhythm within a complex spatial arrangement, resulting in a form that is simultaneously rigid in structure and fluid in composition.

Børge Jørgensen was a prominent figure in the Danish design and art world in the mid to late 20th century.

His oeuvre reflects Scandinavian modernist principles blended with international Brutalist influences.

His sculptures are relatively rare and often explore experimental relationships between industrial materials and sculptural forms.
