An exceptional mid-century modernist cast silicon bronze wind bell designed by master sculptor Richard Fisher for his U.S. Bells studio in Prospect Harbor, Maine.
This brutalist-style hanging sculpture features a beautiful crescent-shaped bronze yoke that perfectly counterbalances a heavy, deep-toned sand-cast bronze bell. The organic, fluid cast bronze link assembly descends gracefully into a teardrop-shaped hardwood wind-catching fin.
When caught by the breeze, the bell produces a remarkably rich, resonant, and clear chime that is a hallmark of Fisher's acoustic craftsmanship. Displaying a stunning, authentic aged verdigris patina from gentle outdoor exposure, this highly collectible piece seamlessly balances brutalist forms with organic mid-century warmth. A perfect functional art addition for a patio, garden, or modern interior gallery wall.
