Full-Cataloguing
The four "Bush" sculptures being offered here show a wide range of forms that Harry Bertoia achieved in this series, which he began in the mid-1950s. While some of Bertoia’s "Bush" sculptures are highly stylized, others have veined bases and variegated patination, creating an illusion of the organic. These sculptures all share Bertoia’s meticulous attention to style and form in both composition and craftsmanship.
