William Bowie (1926-1994) metal wall sculpture.
A fantastic Mid-Century modern, Brutalist sculpture fashioned from salvaged metal parts & steel nails welded together with gold leaf and hints of verdi gris. Bowie was a well-known contemporary of Curtis Jeré, Harry Bertoia, and William and Bruce Friedle, Bowie can be considered a founding figure in the mid-century American metal sculpture genre. His effort to find artistic beauty and meaning in powerful arrangements of industrial materials associates him with the mid-century Brutalism movement.
