Paolo Soleri Cosanti Studio Bronze Architectural Wind Chime Bell (23.25" H)
By Paolo Soleri
Located in St. Louis, MO
A striking 23.25-inch cast bronze sculptural wind bell designed by visionary Italian-born architect, urban planner, and artist Paolo Soleri (1919–2013). Handcrafted at his celebrated Cosanti studio in Paradise Valley, Arizona, this mid-century architectural bell showcases an outstanding naturally weathered verdigris patina. Cast using Soleri’s signature earth-casting metal technique, the bell features geometric Brutalist relief motifs along the main sound chamber, suspended from an articulated sculptural top link and finished below with a folded geometric copper wind-sail fin. Features the official cast Cosanti studio monogram / cipher on the side of the bell chamber. A rare, out-of-production vintage casting featuring iconic Soleri design language that bridges functional art and kinetic sculpture. Paolo Soleri (1919-2013), the founder of Cosanti and Arcosanti, was an important artist, architecture, philosopher and urban planner. The Italian architect studied with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, and at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. He would make his home and studio, Cosanti, near Taliesin West.
