Vintage Outsider Art Cast Blue Glass Leg Sculpture on Polychrome Wooden Stand
"Untitled (Blue Glass Leg on Polychrome Stand)"
20th Century Outsider Art Sculpture
This studio art assemblage presents a cast cobalt-blue glass anatomical form mounted on a painted wooden base. The work exemplifies the raw, intuitive aesthetic of Outsider Art, with its bold material juxtaposition and unmediated execution.
Materials & Technique:
- Primary element: Hand-cast glass leg with fluid surface imperfections characteristic of small-batch studio glass
- Base: Polychrome wooden stand featuring expressionist brushwork
- Construction: Direct adhesive mounting shows artist's hand in assembly
Provenance & Attribution:
- Original gallery inventory tag preserved on underside (unidentified gallery)
- Unsigned, consistent with many Outsider Art traditions
- Circa late 20th century based on material aging and construction methods
Condition:
- Excellent vintage condition
- Surface wear commensurate with age:
• Mild scuffing to painted wooden base
• Expected minor surface irregularities in cast glass
• Stable structural integrity
Exhibition Note:
Final photograph demonstrates the work's remarkable chromatic properties under natural daylight, with included egg providing organic scale reference.
Dimensions:
18.75" H × 12.25" W × 3.6" D
(47.6 × 31.1 × 9.1 cm)
Special Considerations:
This piece represents a compelling example of vernacular surrealism, its disquieting corporeal imagery balanced by the found-object sensibility characteristic of the best Outsider Art traditions.
