Description: EXQUISITE! FREDERIC WEINBERG MODERN ART SCULPTURE TABLE LAMP! ICONIC WEINBERG STYLE! FEMALE FORM IN ABSTRACT! HENRY MOORE ERA! Dimensions: 21" Tall By 14" Wide This superb Weinberg figural lamp depicts a woman in abstract. Her form is a study in line, texture, space and color! This is one of Weinberg's finest abstract table lamps and the sculpture is on par with the works Henry Moore was doing at the same time. In the late forties and early fifties, abstract sculpture became a defining force in mid century modern culture. Weinberg's sculptures were a bit more sensual than Moore's and there is an underlying objective reality Weinberg never strayed past. His line work and the way he molds space is a thing of beauty and this sculpture is a mesmerizing example of his talents! Furniture for "young modern minded" included these modern pieces which defied the past and were\be revolutionary and unfamiliar to their grandparents, whose Chippendale interiors bore no resemblance to the modern post war interiors! A backlash against this abstraction came quite quickly and so these early abstract mid century pieces were short lived. Maybe a thousand of these lamps were made and now, only a handful survive. Within just a few years, fifties designs had been "toned down" to appease the critics, while still trying to appeal to young buyers. This makes these early pieces particularly valuable and desirable among astute collectors and decorators. Among collectors these are known as "purist" mid century art pieces - pieces which the artist's original design was left intact and marketing forces or public opinion had no influence upon. This lamp is in very fine vintage condition and has an original red fiberglass shade with no rips or tears. The black of the sculpture is perfectly complemented by the red fiberglass! This Weinberg lamp is VERY striking! An extremely rare lamp for the most distinguished interiors! Perfect for your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate! MODERN ART FOR YOURMUSEUM-WORTHY INTERIORS! _____________________________________________________ All text, images and descriptions Copyright GALLERY 20TH. 2024. All Rights Reserved.
