A truly captivating and iconic piece of mid-century modern art, this "The Embrace" sculpture was designed by renowned artist Klara Sever for Austin Productions. Created in the 1970s, this sculpture exemplifies the Brutalist and Modernist styles with its powerful, abstract form depicting a tender embrace between two figures.
While it has the beautiful, warm appearance of terracotta, the statue is crafted from Durastone, a composite material frequently used by Austin Productions, and finished with a terracotta-colored wash. This technique allowed for the creation of durable, high-quality art that was accessible for home collectors. The piece is signed "Sever" at the base, consistent with the artist's mark.
This sculpture is a statement piece that embodies themes of love, connection, and humanity. It is perfect for collectors of Mid-Century Modern design, Brutalist art, or anyone looking to add a touch of vintage sophistication to their home decor.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no major chips, cracks, or repairs. There may be minor scuffs or imperfections consistent with its age, which only add to its authentic character. Please review all photos carefully.
