A Large Two-Piece Cast Stone Planter / Urn, attributed to Willy Guhl, C. 1970.

Offered by: 2220 Antiques

Description
One of two available. Sculptural two-piece cast stone planter comprising a shallow bowl-form vessel raised on a tapered pedestal base. The restrained, architectural silhouette and emphasis on pure form are characteristic of the modernist design language associated with Willy Guhl(1915–2004), the Swiss modernist designer whose work was widely produced and installed throughout Europe, including France. The weathered surface and substantial scale give the piece exceptional garden or terrace presence. A scarce model, particularly in cast stone, reflecting the European dissemination and adaptation of Guhl’s designs during the mid-late 20th century.
