Initiale grimaçante. 1958.
Bronze, polished.
Copy 9 of 10. 12.5 x 8 x 6 cm (4.9 x 3.1 x 2.3 in). [KA].
• Hans Arp’s sculptures are poetic manifestations of free association.
• At times organic, at times constructivist in character, Arp’s formal language reflects the inexhaustible diversity of natural structures.
• In the year of its creation, the artist was honored with a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
• Excellent provenance: received as a gift directly from the artist and in the same family’s possession for over 50 years.
We are grateful to the Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp Foundation, Berlin/Rolandswerth, for the kind assistance.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Germany (gifted from the artist)
