Description
Bring home a striking piece of mid-century studio art with this expressive cast bronze sculpture, signed West. Hand-formed in an abstract, Brutalist style, this sculptural head features exaggerated facial contours, horn-like extensions, and an open, fragmented form that gives it a bold, sculptural presence from every angle.
Cast using the lost-wax method, the piece shows textured interior surfaces and a smooth exterior with a deep bronze patina - hallmarks of one-of-a-kind studio work from the 1960s-1980s. Perfect for collectors who love modernist, surrealist, or expressive forms, or anyone looking for a unique art object to anchor a bookshelf or console.
