Robert Dhaemers is known for his abstract sculptures and studio jewelry he created in the 1950s-1970s.
He exhibited widely and taught for more than 40 years at the well-known Mills College in Oakland, CA.
His works are characterized by his unique approach often termed 'organic modern' and his use of found objects.

'Large Totem Figure' is a bronze abstract sculpture mounted on a marble base.
This work is highly detailed, particularly in the face of the figure at the top of the sculpture.

This work is one of many being offered in this sale and comes directly from Robert Dhaemers' estate.
Most of these works were exhibited at least once.
