Description
- Harry Bertoia
- Sound Sculpture
- beryllium copper, brass
Condition
Overall good original condition. A wonderful sound sculpture showing nice height. The rods with a few very minor bends. The base, rods and nodes in particular with oxidation, rubbing and discolorations to the surface, suggesting this piece may have at some point been exhibited briefly outdoors, visible on the catalogue illustration. With surface dirt throughout consistent with age. The piece displays a nice scale and elicits a wonderfully melodic tone when played.
