they are large and heavy abstract pieces, open to interpretation. We think the light pink one resembles a shell perhaps a sea shell or a snail, the green one resembles a female form.

they rest without being fixed on solid teak plinth bases. The condition is excellent, there are just a couple of shallow grazes on the back edge of the pink one.

a. Altmann was a remarkably talented artist based in hampstead garden suburb. She created paintings and sculptures, working with marble, bronze, plaster and driftwood. She was not a working artist as far as we know, she was a housewife creating art in her spare time, much of it with a strong feminist theme. We have several of her other sculptures available, seen listed under our other items for sale.
