Artist, French, 1921 - 1998

The sculpture has an abstract form with a vertical, textured surface resembling a thick slab or layered sheet that tapers slightly towards the top. It appears to be made from bronze or similar metal, with a rough texture featuring visible linear indentations and ridges across its body. The surface showcases varying shades of brown and metallic highlights. The sculpture is mounted on a simple, slender base leading down to a flat circular disk, which is placed on a square black plinth. This base accentuates the sculpture's verticality and rough texture. Against a solid yellow background, the sculpture's intricate surface detail stands out in stark contrast.
