About the Item

This Mid-Century Brutalist iron and steel sculpture entitled "Reliquary", signed by Lindsey Decker and crafted in America, C. 1956, is a profound example of mid-20th-century sculptural innovation. Embracing the hallmarks of the Brutalist aesthetic, the piece explores raw, industrial textures and bold geometric forms that evoke both strength and mystery, thematically grounded in the bodily and spiritual forms from which the piece derives its title. Constructed from iron and steel, the sculpture features intricate metalwork composed of layered and welded elements, creating a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and negative space. Its monolithic yet intricate design is balanced by an emotional resonance, making it a thought-provoking statement piece. The title, "Reliquary", suggests themes of preservation, sacredness, or memory, lending additional depth to its interpretation. The undulating dimensional forms are reminiscent of human or animal anatomy and yet merge into uncertainty, vaguely recognizable and yet imbued with a sense of spiritual mystery and visual ambiguity. Lindsey Decker’s work captures the ethos of post-war modernism, where industrial materials were repurposed to create expressive, avant-garde forms. Perfect for collectors or those seeking a distinctive focal point, the sculpture embodies strength, raw artistry, and intellectual depth. In Excellent Vintage Condition and signed and dated by the artist on the conical support. American, C. 1956 Dimensions: Height: 16" x Width: 5.25" x Depth: 3"

Located in New York, NY

This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
