Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: 8 Manuel Felguerez Barra (1928-2020)
Marking(s); notes: signed (all)
Country of origin; materials: Mexican; enameled steel (all), wood (baseball player)
Dimensions (H, W, D): largest: 16"h, 12"w, 6.5"d
Additional Information: Lot is comprised of eight sporting themed sculptures: a jockey, a gymnast, a cyclist, a baseball player, two skiers and two children (one on a swing and another on a tricycle). Manuel Felguerez Barra was a painter and a sculptor, known for combining both art forms to create large murals sculpted in metal. Many incorporated found materials including scrap metal, stones and shells. The abstract nature of his larger works can be seen in this collection. Barra is considered to be part of the Generacion de la Ruptura that broke with the muralist movement of Diego Rivera and others in the mid 20th century to follow a more abstract style (source: Wikipedia). Provenance: Collection of Mrs. S. Furer, Boca Raton, Florida. Much of Mrs. Furer's extensive art collection was acquired in Hempstead, New York during the 1960s.
