Description
A dramatic and highly sculptural Brutalist wall-mounted fountain executed in brass and copper tubular elements, dating to the 1970s and attributed to American artist Silas Seandel. The composition is formed from vertically arranged, torch-cut tubular forms with jagged, expressive edges, creating a dynamic interplay of texture, depth, and movement. The surface features a rich, multi-tonal patina—blending warm golden brass with oxidized copper, burnt sienna hues, and darker areas of natural oxidation—characteristic of the flame-worked, organic aesthetic associated with Seandel’s practice. The tubular construction adds a strong architectural quality, while integrated basins and protrusions create a cascading structure originally intended to guide flowing water. The piece represnets a compelling wall sculpture, embodying the bold, industrial elegance of mid-century Brutalist design and serving as a striking focal point in any interior. The fountain mechanism is currently not operational and will require a replacement pump to restore its intended function. Priced accordingly.
Dimensions : 41" H 29" W 13" D
