Paola Martelli Abstract Sculpture Bronze and Marble Signed Space Age

  

Rare abstract sculpture, "space age" by 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 have also been used in the creation of jewelry! A massive, quality piece that changes depending on the perspective one takes, in line with the works of Italian artists of the so-called "op art" period. Hand-signed in cursive engraving at the bottom of the sculpture, in bronze. Probably a unique piece, unnumbered 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, angles and edges preserved. Weight excluding solid and secure packaging: 2.890 kg.
