Description
Hand-chiseled and etched abstract figural sculpture "Deep in Thought" in limestone by Naomi Feinberg, American 1960's. This is a beautiful sculpture which is both primitive and evocative.

Naomi Feinberg was a New York based sculptor who worked primarily in stone. She began sculpting in the 1940’s and became affiliated with artist group Studio 725 which was a consortium of woman artists working in Union Square NYC. She studied sculpture with Philip Darling, Jose De Creeft, and Lorrie Goulet at the New School, the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Students League, and the School of Visual Arts A relative late comer to the art world, Naomi Feinberg emerged as highly accomplished, multi-faceted artist who juggled architectural coherence with a preoccupation with the human form, to create works that are both experimental and primitive.

Provenance: Lobel Modern purchased this piece from the artist in the early 2000's and sold it to a private collector in NYC. Lobel Modern purchased it from the estate of the collector in 2021.

This piece is part of the Lobel Modern's exhibition: Naomi Feinberg: A Woman Sculpting in a Man's World currently on exhibition in our Exhibit Gallery across the hall from our showroom.
