About the Item

ARNALDO POMODORO Double Sided Gold Plated Medallion, 1985 Bronze with Gold Patina 2 7/10 × 2 7/10 × 3/10 inches Limited Edition of 500 Signed by artist with incised signature; Stamped by Johnson Foundry This dazzling two sided limited edition commemorative bronze medallion with thick gold patina, richly carved on both sides with the artist's classic sculptural shapes and designs. It bears the artist's engraved signature, the mark of the famous Johnson Foundry in Milan, and text commemorating the bank's 75th anniversary. It was created by Arnaldo Pomodoro in an edition of 500 to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Sudameris Bank, and the design reproduces the artist's large disk installed on the front court facing the steps of the Banque Sudameris in Sao Paolo, Brazil. This work is registered in the Arnaldo Pomodo Foundation archives : M/ 85 / 6b. About Arnaldo Pomodoro: Born in 1926, Arnaldo Pomodoro is a contemporary Italian artist currently living and working in Milan, Italy. Pomodoro studied architecture during his adolescence and this interest in space and design manifests in his work. Many of his works on paper, with their use of precisely measured lines, appear similar to architectural drawings. In other cases, they appear to mimic his sculptural style by incorporating serrated shapes and rough patterning. Paul Klee, the 20th Century modernist, initially influenced Pomodoro’s style. Klee’s geometric and rectilinear drawings inspired Pormodoro’s use of similar shapes in his early relief works. Pomodoro’s style evolved over time to move away from relief sculpture and towards freestanding works. Inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s use of smooth bronze, Pormodoro also rejected the artist’s perfectionism. In contrast, Pormodoro produces bronze sculptures that often appear to be tearing or splitting, revealing jagged insides. The physical matter of his sculptures evokes contemplation. They serve to both influence and be influenced by the space in which they exist. Pomodoro’s work was exhibited at the 1964 Venice Biennale and since then many of his sculptures have been installed in public locations in countries including Spain, South Korea, Italy, and the United States. His works are included in the collections of many museums including the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois; Guggenheim Museum in New York, New York; National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia; Courtauld Institute of Art in London, England; Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy; and Calderara Foundation Collection in Milan, Italy. -Courtesy of Marlborough Gallery
