Brutalist Brass Flower Sculpture on Stone Base, United States, 1960s

A bold and theatrical MCM brutalist flower sculpture, its brass blooms and leaves hand-formed with an expressive, organic energy and mounted directly into a raw black rock base that anchors the piece with considerable visual weight. The contrast between the luminous, warm-toned metal flowers and the rough, matte surface of the stone base is quintessentially brutalist in spirit, combining the refined and the raw in a single striking composition. A highly decorative and collectible piece with strong shelf and mantle presence.
