Harry Bertoia untitled (Spill Cast)
Harry Bertoia untitled (Spill Cast) USA, c. 1965 bronze with patina 26"w x 11"d x 25.5"h Bertoia developed a technique of form-making called "Spill Cast" in which molten metal was poured into a pool or onto sand and pummeled with stones. The metal would cool into jagged and asymmetrical forms, producing a surface similar to coral. This unique example is exceptional for its three-dimensional qualities, setting it apart from other Spill Cast forms that are more planar in composition.
