Sergio Camargo

Latin America

Estimate
US$70,000 - US$90,000
Price realised:
US$81,250
Beschreibung:

Sergio Camargo Untitled (Relief No. 273) 1970 painted wood 7 1/2 x 7 5/8 x 3 1/2 in. (19.1 x 19.4 x 8.9 cm) Signed, inscribed and dated "Paris 70 273 Camargo" on the reverse. This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Galeria Raquel Arnaud, numbered 11443.
Provenance Acquired directly from the artist Private Collection, Switzerland Private Collection, Europe Artist Bio Sergio Camargo Brazilian • 1930 - 1990 Sergio Camargo was a Brazilian artist known for his sculptures, wall-based reliefs and architectural commissions. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he studied in Buenos Aires and Paris before returning to Brazil in 1950 at which point he became familiar with the Constructivist movement. During the 1960s and 1970s his work became dominated by wooden, terracotta, marble and stone forms, cylindrical or cuboid in shape, jutting out in relief with geometric precision from monochrome white surfaces. The interjecting lines created across the white surfaces by shadow and light evoke the interplay of alternating modes of rationality and chaos, fullness and emptiness. The three-dimensional constructions are meticulous in their use of color and form, simultaneously minimalist in order and expansive in their study of volume and light. View More Works
