Description Sales Policy

A striking bronze 20th‑century modernist kinetic sculpture featuring three acrobatic figures ascending a helical structure. This tall, dynamic bronze moves when gently manipulated and is mounted on a solid granite base.

Kinetic bronze sculpture emerged prominently in the mid‑ to late‑20th century, blending modernist abstraction with motion, balance, and human form. Works featuring acrobatic or ascending figures became symbolic of progress, aspiration, and the human relationship to structure and space. This example reflects the era’s fascination with movement, sculptural engineering, and expressive figural design.

Material: Bronze with dark patination Base: Solid granite block Construction: Helical structure with three acrobats in gymnastic poses Movement: Kinetic — sculpture moves when manipulated Dimensions: Height 48.5” (with base) × Width 10” Condition: Excellent, with stable patina and no losses

This sculpture stands out for its dramatic verticality, kinetic motion, and expressive modernist forms. The ascending acrobats create a sense of energy and upward momentum, making it a powerful statement piece for contemporary interiors, architectural spaces, or collectors of modernist bronze sculpture. Its scale and movement make it ideal for entryways, lofts, studios, and curated design environments.
