The sculpture … more Abstract Bronze sculpture 'La grande fleur de l'espace' by Sergio Storel (Italy 1926 - Paris 2017), France 1969. The sculpture is created in a fantastic open way, Storel explored how he could use flat, bent steel and form a three-dimensional whole where the lines and edges merge down with the imagination. Besides that another interesting study of Storel was how the openness of the work allows it to blend even more into the space evoking a sense of fluidity, hence the name 'La grande fleur de l'espace' (The Great Flower of Space). The work is stripped of all figurative references, reduced to its purest, most minimal expression into this powerful modern shape. Storel’s minimalist approach gives the piece a timeless, modern aesthetic. In addition to his artistic vision, Storel was renowned for his exceptional skill and admiration for working with steel. As his widow described, Storel "danced with the steel" to bring his sculptures to life, a testament to his intimate relationship with his materials and the care he took in crafting each piece. Storel moved to Paris in 1958 after studying and working for a time in the studio of his uncle, the famous sculptor Toni Benetton. He quickly realized that in order to carve out his own artistic path, he needed to step beyond the shadow of his uncle’s success and into the international art scene in Paris to establish his own career and style. Storel had a very successful career and is considered a prominent figure in the post-war sculpture scene. Exhibiting internationally, his works found there way into important private - and museum collections. The sculpture is signed, dated and numbered: Stored 1969, 1-4. The monogram of the founder is visible. In excellent original condition. less
