Description

This remarkable Brutalist sculpture, titled "El Toro," is a masterwork of mid-century industrial art. Dated 1971, the piece is meticulously assembled from thick, torch-cut steel plates, showcasing the raw, jagged edges and visible weld marks that define the high Brutalist aesthetic. The artist expertly captures the power and muscularity of the bull through a series of overlapping, geometric metal shards, creating a dynamic sense of motion and primal strength. Its deep, natural iron patina is original to the work, lending it a rugged, weathered charm that resonates perfectly with both primitive and modern design sensibilities. Mounted on a substantial, hand-hewn dark wood base with an identifying brass plaque, this sculpture measures 14.25” long, 9” deep, and 10” tall. Its impressive scale and tactile materiality make it a sophisticated focal point for an executive study, an industrial-style loft, or a refined collector’s shelf. The piece is in excellent vintage condition, featuring a rich, authentic patina that highlights its half-century of history and artistic character. This signed and dated work is an essential find for interior designers and collectors of 1970s American metalware. Secure this powerful statement piece for your collection today.
