A striking pair of mid-century modern sculptural lilies by California artist Harry M. Wasserman. Each is individually handcrafted from torch-cut steel, with dramatically formed petals rising from broad, radiating leaves.
The intentionally rugged surfaces, irregular torch-cut edges, and dark patinated finish give the flowers a distinctly Brutalist and organic modern character. Their low, spreading forms work beautifully as tabletop sculptures, decorative objects, or sculptural candleholders.
Signed by the artist and handmade in California, the pair is a wonderful example of mid-century American metalwork, combining botanical subject matter with the raw, expressive qualities associated with the era’s Brutalist studio craft movement.
