Yonel Lebovici studied aeronautics before turning to sculpture in the 1960s. His outsize renditions of everyday objects, such as the present Fiche Mâle and Épingle de Nourrice lamps, recall the found objects of surrealist sculpture, while the perfectionism of the execution nods to Lebovici’s engineering background. Lebovici identified as a sculptor, as opposed to a lighting designer, emphasizing this distinction by exhibiting in galleries and producing only very limited editions.
