Liuba Wolf, Abstract Bronze Sculpture, 1969 — Edition 1/4

A striking modernist bronze sculpture by Italian artist Liuba Wolf (b. 1925), dated 1969 and inscribed LIUBA 69, 1/4. The work is an exceptional example of Wolf’s exploration of abstract form and material tension—balancing raw, textured surfaces with sharply architectural planes.

Standing at 18 inches in height, this bronze embodies a dynamic interplay between organic mass and geometric restraint. The sculptural form appears to hover between balance and motion, evoking themes of transformation and stability central to Liuba’s artistic vocabulary. The deep, matte patina accentuates the sculptural weight while inviting subtle reflections of light across its faceted surfaces.

Wolf, known for her work in Rome and Milan during the mid-20th century avant-garde, was associated with the development of postwar abstract sculpture in Italy—her works often merging expressionist intensity with minimalist structure.
