Description
Nag Arnoldi (Swedish/Italian, 1928-2017). Brutalist bronze sculpture titled "Astati," ca. 1980s. Depicting four elongated and abstract warrior forms, each armed with shields and staffs towering over the grouped figures. Initialed along the base.
Provenance: Giorgio Ghelfi Gallerie D'Arte, Italy, January 18, 2007; From the Estate of Gary Fink.
Gary C. Fink was a collector with both a lighthearted sense of humor and a serious commitment to art. Through the Museum Louvre It or Leave It, he offered Minnesotans an offbeat, thought-provoking experience; through MIA gifts, he broadened institutional collections; and through his scholarship, he continues to enable the next generation of artists. A Renaissance soul in the heart of Minnesota’s art community, Gary C. Fink was more than an astute collector - he was a spirited patron whose unconventional vision left an indelible mark on the creative landscape.
Height: 24 3/4 in x width: 6 in x depth: 5 in.
