Crafted at his famed New York City "Sculpture Studio," these pieces exemplify the Brutalist aesthetic through their torch-cut metal and textured gilt finish. Each sculpture features a cluster of delicate "thistle" or "dandelion" pods perched atop slender, swaying stems that rise from a jagged, sunburst-style base. The interplay between the rigid metal and the airy, organic forms creates a captivating visual tension that is hallmark to Bowie’s most sought-after designs.


Perfect for adding vertical interest to a mantel, credenza, or entryway table, these sculptures bring a sophisticated architectural element to any curated interior. Each piece stands 6.25x5.25x16.5 inches tall with a base diameter of 9 inches, offering a commanding yet ethereal presence. They remain in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting a rich, authentic patina and minor age-appropriate oxidation that collectors prize as a sign of authenticity and character. This rare pair offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of mid-century art history; add them to your collection to instantly elevate your home’s design narrative. See less
