Based on the Tibetan infiny knot, this Richard X. Zawitz sculpture features interconnected pieces that twist together to change shape and give the piece a variety of sculptural arrangements. This piece is unsigned. These pieces typically had stickers which can easily come off.

This highly dynamic and brilliantly designed Mid-Century Modernist Kinetic "Tangle" Sculpture is by Richard X Zawitz and originates from the United States, circa 1982. Features a brilliant continuous form in polished chrome with near seamless hinged elements that rotate to inform the shape and nature of the "tangle" for which this sculpture derives its name. Richard X Zawitz studied art in Hawaii where he developed his conceptual and technical approach. A passage from his artist statement beautifully exemplified this internal discovery that has informed his practice since the beginning, "My work since the late 1960s has been devoted to the essences and energies which first became manifest to me through Chinese Taoism and then through the entire alchemical pantheon of the form and formlessness of Asian philosophy and metaphysics." These notions of infinity and interconnection are evident within this dynamic and stimulating sculpture. This piece will draw the appreciation of those with a penchant for the finest and most dynamic and stimulating Mid-Century sculpture, styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors.
