This massive 13-inch wall sculpture features a deeply dimensional, vibrant transparent amber Lucite hemisphere dome mounted securely to a thick, clear acrylic backplate panel. While unsigned—as is typical for studio acrylic art of this era that originally relied on adhesive paper labels—the substantial 12+ pound weight, premium thick cast Lucite, and period-correct industrial corner mounts fully validate its authentic high-end mid-century heritage and fine-art caliber.

Design and Optical Properties

Weighing over 12 solid pounds, the extreme structural thickness of the premium plexiglass creates a mesmerizing, fluid 3D optical lens illusion. When styled near ambient or direct directional lighting, the translucent amber bubble captures and refracts light across the wall canvas, casting a warm, radiant architectural glow. Complete with its original heavy-duty patinated brass mounting brackets at all four corners, this rare sculptural pop art object is ready to serve as a high-impact focal point in any mid-century modern, minimalist, or retro-futuristic designer space.

Dimensions

Width: 13.0 inches (33.02 cm)
Height: 13.0 inches (33.02 cm)
Depth: Approximately 6.0 inches (15.24 cm) dome projection profile
Weight: 12.0 lbs (Heavy format architectural art)

Condition Report

Excellent vintage condition with superb clarity and structural integrity. The transparent amber dome and clear backplate are remarkably free of deep cracks, internal clouding, or structural fractures. As expected for genuine, 50+ year-old historical acrylic fine art, faint superficial micro-scratches and minor age-appropriate handling marks are present on the surfaces under bright, directed lighting, which do not detract from its stunning optical display.

Authentication

Circa 1970s, attributed by the material composition, heavy-gauge casting techniques, and period-correct industrial corner mount hardware blocks. See less
