Introducing an outstanding large abstract kinetic bronze sculpture by renowned Illinois artist Bill Keating. Born in 1932, Keating is celebrated for his extraordinary ability to breathe life into static materials, and this kinetic sculpture, crafted circa 1983, is a profound embodiment of his expertise.

This two-part kinetic sculpture is a captivating display of balance and motion. Its base, a tall and narrow pyramid, exudes an aura of stability and geometric precision. Rising from this foundation is a singular, curvaceous form, fluid and ethereal. Its sinuous silhouette seems to defy the rigid structure of the base, an artistic contradiction that tantalizes the eye and sparks the imagination.

The real enchantment of this sculpture lies in its kinetic feature. The fluid form, delicately resting on a small pin atop the pyramid base, rotates with ease. This gentle, unhurried movement unveils an ever-changing panorama of the sculpture, casting shifting shadows and reflections, and lending a dynamic aura to the piece.

Crafted from solid polished bronze, this sculpture gleams with an enduring allure. The metallic sheen accentuates the organic lines of the piece, while the robust material ensures its lasting durability.

Signed and dated at the base, the sculpture carries the indelible touch of Bill Keating. This authenticates the piece as a true Keating creation and marks it as a symbol of his artistic journey and celebrated oeuvre.

With overall measurements of 32" in height, approximately 13" in width, and 16" in depth, this sculpture makes a grand statement. It's an eye-catching art piece that transforms any space into a gallery of dynamic and fluid form.

Acquiring this Bill Keating kinetic bronze sculpture is not just an investment in a piece of art, but a tribute to the timeless allure of abstract art and the fascinating world of kinetic sculptures. It's more than a decoration; it's an expression of movement, balance, and the beauty of transformation captured in solid bronze. An exciting conversation starter, this piece is perfect for anyone with a deep appreciation for contemporary sculpture and the enchanting dance of form and movement.
