Lynn Russell Chadwick (1914-2003) Maquette IV Two Reclining Figures (1973) Stamped with the artist's monogram and signature, dated 73, inscribed 675 and numbered 1/8 on the reverse Bronze, H. 21.6 x W. 29 x L. 41.1 cm Provenance: - Kunsthandel Frans Jacobs, Amsyterdam, 2011 - Collection Cornelia Weijsenfeld, de Wittenberg, Garderen Literature: Farr & Chadwick 675 Note: Chadwick's impact is evident in his semi-abstract sculptures meticulously crafted from bronze or steel. 'Maquette IV Two Clicking Figures', a prominent example, serves as a testament to Chadwick's avant-garde approach to sculpture, marked by angular forms that defy conventional carving methods. This noteworthy piece, much like the broader scope of Chadwick's portfolio, finds its place in prestigious collections, such as MoMA in New York, the Tate in London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. His angular figurative sculptures were instrumental in reshaping the medium during the mid-20th century. Lynn Chadwick's artistic influence garnered international acclaim, exemplified by his participation in the 1956 Venice Biennale, where he secured the distinguished International Sculpture Prize. In acknowledgment of Chadwick's significant contribution to the art world, Tate Britain organized a major retrospective in 2003, coinciding with the artist's passing. * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
