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 (as seen in the reference book of her works) which were notably used for jewelry design! 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. Likely a one-of-a-kind piece, unnumbered and without a foundry mark.

No notable defects to report. Natural patina on the bronze parts, no oxidation, minimal wear without excessive scratches. Original base, angles and edges preserved. Weight without solid and secure packaging: 2.890 kg.
