Iron Bull. Juan García Ripollés (b. 1932). Original sculpture in wrought and welded iron, entirely handmade and signed by the artist on one of the hind legs. Dimensions: 62 × 113 × 55 cm. The piece, with its striking sculptural presence, represents a bull fragmented into rhythmic sections that evoke both the animal's vital energy and Juan Ripollés's characteristic organic and expressionist style. Its material treatment, with irregular surfaces and a dark patina, underscores the tension between strength and balance, recurring themes in his work. The sculpture has been published and authenticated, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, a photograph of the piece in his studio, and a copy of the catalogue "Juan Ripollés. Towards Glass" (Marsilio Ed., 2018), which references his sculptural work. A unique piece within the Valencian master's metal production, recognized for its combination of formal ingenuity and powerful plastic language.
