Philip and Kelvin LaVerne "Musicians" Pierced Bronze Painting 1960s--Signed

Creator: Philip and Kelvin LaVerne
Offered by: Lobel Modern, Inc.

Description
Unique pierced bronze painting "Musicians" in patinated and engraved bronze and pewter with multicolor enamels by Philip & Kelvin LaVerne, American 1960's (signed “Philip Kelvin LaVerne” in bottom right corner). Pierced bronze paintings have a back panel that is welded in place about an inch behind the front. Often the back panel is painted with enamels which show through the front and give the piece extraordinary depth. This work retains the original gallery label on the back which is shown in the photos stating all relevant information. The hand-welded contoured frame and the figures created out of negative space make this piece a tour de force of artisanship.
