William Black (20e eeuw)

A deconstructivist sculpture of a patinated copper alloy. 'Ghost boat'. Signed and dated '65. Having worked as an architect after the Second World War, William Black went on to work as an artist following the inheritance of money in the early 1950s. He was a self taught artist, producing numerous deconstructivist sculptures in the 1960s. He moved to St Ives in Cornwall where he collaborated with artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. There is a clear architectural element to his sculptures. They illustrate an assemblage of fragmented shapes and forms of a deconstructivist nature.
