Bruce Beasley (Born 1939)

Messenger

1993

The vertical abstract expressionist arrangement in multiple shades of oxidation and textural patina is inscribed '93 near the artist's signature in the casting's base, and numbered 5 from an edition of only 9 sculptures.

The composition is a fine example of Beasley's fascination with the natural configuration of elementary mineral structures, especially earth's crystals, with their random arrangements of fused, overlapping, partially visible cubes overtaking one another to create random angular planes.

The original bill of sale from from Galerie Scheffel GmbH, Bad Homburg Vor Der Hohe, Germany is included.

Measures 37 x 8 x 8 inches.

Provenance: The Robert W. Steinbach Trust and Steinbach Family Collection, Kansas City, Missouri.
