Di Giovanni, dating back to the 1970s. This piece perfectly embodies the expressive, dramatic, and material aesthetic of the Brutalist movement of the late 20th century.

The sculpture unfolds through a complex, three-dimensional, radial composition. Organically shaped, jagged iron elements, characterized by sharp edges, cracks, and the rough, burnt textures typical of flamework, intersect with thin metal filaments that lend dynamism and visual lightness to the structure. The work masterfully plays with the concepts of full and empty, casting fascinating geometric shadows on the wall behind it depending on the lighting.

The beautiful, natural dark patina of the iron gives the piece a primitive, sculptural character and great visual impact, making it a perfect statement piece for both modern interiors and eclectic or midcentury spaces.

The work is in excellent original vintage condition. It retains its splendid natural iron patina and has no structural defects. Ready to hang. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
