    USA - Circa 1970s

    Venture into the world of vintage artistry with this impressive Brutalist sculpture, thoughtfully crafted in the 1970s. Drawing inspiration from the captivating silhouette of a crow or bird, this piece perfectly embodies the rawness and artistic freedom of the Brutalist movement.

    Every detail of this sculpture exudes meticulous craftsmanship. Using torch-cutting techniques, individual pieces of steel have been intricately welded together to form the striking figure of a crow. The bird's highly stylized head, body, and legs are a testament to the artist's skill, while the expansive 35.5" wings imbue the piece with a grandiosity that's impossible to overlook.

    One of the defining features of this masterpiece is its alluring rust-colored patina, a testament to the passage of time and the inherent beauty of aged steel. This patina not only amplifies the sculpture's vintage charm but also highlights the exquisite textural details inherent in the welding and patination processes.

    Supporting this stunning avian figure is a hollow welded steel base measuring 10.5" W x 9" D x 3" H, serving both as a sturdy foundation and a visual counterbalance to the crow's intricate detailing. Though the artist behind this magnificent creation remains unknown, their signature is welded onto the base.

    Measuring an impressive 26.5" in height, 35.5" in width, and 15" in depth, this sculpture is not just a decorative piece but a conversation starter. Whether you're a collector, a Brutalist aficionado, or someone with an eye for unique art, this welded steel crow sculpture promises to be a captivating addition to any space.
