Lot note:
Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) was a British sculptor known for his innovative and dynamic abstract sculptures. He often created small-scale models - or maquettes- usually made from materials like metal or bronze, that served as preliminary studies for his larger works. The two angular seated figurines that comprise Maquette II Diamond (2 Figures) are a particularly enchanting example of Chadwick"s work on a smaller scale. The figures appear to have their own identity, which is evident given their individual body shapes- one has a more soft and feminine figure, featuring an accentuated waist and hips, subtle belly and slender legs, while the other has much broader shoulders and a traditionally masculine torso. Furthermore, each figure has a polished bronze face, which was a trait Chadwick would occasionally incorporate into his sculptures. These faces, often characterized by their smooth surfaces and reflective qualities, added a striking contrast to the rough textures and angular forms of the surrounding sculptures. Chadwick"s use of polished bronze faces brought a sense of human presence and introspection to his otherwise abstract compositions, creating a captivating interplay between the organic and the industrial within his art. The collection also includes a geometric candelabra, Three Branched Candle Holder III, which similarly illustrates the expansiveness of Chadwick"s oeuvre.
