A MODERNIST ROBOT SCULPTURE BY GIORGIO AMELIO ROCCAMONTE (ITALIAN, 1927-1980) A Giorgio Amelio Roccamonte (1927-1980) sculpture of a robot composed in his characteristic modernist form, with abstracted and elongated, pointed limbs and a rounded head made of two uneven halves. The statue is made of steel plated in silver, and is set atop a rounded base of similar material. Roccamonte was born in Argentina, where he spent time in the workshop of sculptor Maria Cristina Molina Salas before meeting Lucio Fontana, who would become one of his mentors. He soon moved to Italy, attending the Academy of Brera in Milan as a student of Marino Marini. There he would develop his quintessentially modernist style, which would gain him notoriety in the North of Italy. Italy, 20th century. Dimensions: H: 14 1/4 in., (36.2 cm.) Condition: Good overall, with some light tarnishing to silver plate throughout. Please make all inquiries before bidding.
