Paola Martelli Abstract Sculpture Bronze and Marble Signed Space Age

  

Rare abstract sculpture, "space age" by the designer and visual artist Paola Martelli (1931 -), Italy, circa 1970. Typical of her creations from this period (the reference book of her works is shown in the photos) which were notably used in the creation of jewelry! A substantial, high-quality piece that changes depending on the viewer's perspective, in line with the works of Italian artists from the so-called "optical art" movement.

Hand-signed in cursive engraving at the base of the sculpture, in bronze. Probably a unique piece, not numbered and without a foundry mark. No notable defects to report. Natural patina on the bronze parts, no oxidation, rare wear without excessive scratches.

Original base, corners and edges preserved. Weight without solid and secure packaging: 2.890 kg.
