Description
Harry Bertoia (American, 1915-1978)
Untitled (Gong)
Cut bronze plate.
Executed circa 1972.
height: 7 7/8 in. (20cm)
width: 11 3/16 in. (28.4cm)
PROVENANCE:
Benjamin Mangel Gallery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

NOTE:
This sounding sculpture gong was made to be hung and struck for sound. Bertoia created this piece while working on a larger gong. Never one to waste materials, the artist cut out a central section of the larger gong and fashioned it into the present piece. (See Harry Bertoia Foundation Archival File 14024-41 for large gong which may have been the “mother” of this gong.)
This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Harry Bertoia Foundation and signed by Celia Bertoia, Director and will be included in the upcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.
