Set of Four Totem Sculptures by Aldo Guarnieri, Italy 1960s
About the Item
Discover the enigmatic beauty of mid-century Italian art with this set of four totem sculptures by the elusive artist Aldo Guarnieri, dating back to the 1960s. These rocky totem sculptures rise majestically like stalagmites in a cave, each formed of clay over an internal skeleton, resulting in pieces that are strikingly light despite their substantial appearance.
The sculptures exhibit a rugged texture that captures the essence of natural rock formations, and their condition is good for their vintage age, with the rough surface texture allowing any wear to blend seamlessly into the design. This characteristic enhances their rustic charm, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, adding a touch of organic sophistication to any space.
All four sculptures bear the signature of Aldo Guarnieri, an artist shrouded in mystery with very little information available about him. Similar works attributed to him from our source are dated to the 1960s-1970s, further cementing their place as rare and valuable pieces of mid-century art.
These totem sculptures are not just art pieces; they are conversation starters, each telling a silent story of the natural world and artistic mastery. Their unique and mysterious origin adds an intriguing element to any collection, making them a must-have for connoisseurs of vintage Italian art.
