Lot description

This contemporary stone sculpture by Michael Barkin features a carved woman's face integrated into the natural form of a rough-hewn rock. The artist has utilized the internal colors of the stone, revealing a smooth, grey-green visage with closed eyes and stylized flowing hair that contrasts with the unworked, iron-rich reddish-brown exterior surfaces. The sculpture is mounted on a single metal rod into a rectangular frosted Lucite base. The reverse of the stone bears a handwritten inscription in white lettering that reads BARK. Artist: Michael Barkin (American, 20th century) Dimensions: 21.00"L x 8.00"W x 15.00"H Weight: 77.00 lb
