GRACE KNOWLTON MONUMENTAL SPHERE SCULPTURES, GROUP OF FOUR
Group of four monumental garden sphere sculptures in welded steel plate, open wire rod, composite and fired ceramic.
Approx. Dimensions: 74" Dia (welded rusted steel plate over internal armature); 40" Dia (open wire rod); 26" Dia (composite over styrofoam); 14" Dia (fired ceramic)
Artist or Maker: Attributed to Grace Knowlton
Provenance: From a New York Collector
Notes: All spheres have been outside in the elements for some time and though they are structurally sound, could use some restoration. The 26" composite sphere needs patching and restoration; the 14" ceramic sphere has multiple cracks and losses. Although care is taken to photograph and describe the item, absence of a condition report does not imply perfect condition. It is the responsibility of the buyer to verify the condition of the item, either in person during our viewing hours prior to auction or through requested condition reports. All bids are final and are subject to our terms and conditions.
Appeal: Grace Knowlton, sphere sculpture, outdoor sculpture, garden sculpture, Long Island artist, LongHouse Reserve, Isamu Noguchi, Ruth Asawa, Mark di Suvero, monumental sculpture, corten steel, land art, contemporary American sculpture
