Description
1950s Frederic Weinberg Wrought Iron Wall Sculpture of a Fencer
Offered for sale is a wonderful wrought iron wall sculpture by Frederic Weinberg in the 1950s. The sculpture depicts a man in fencing gear and in a lunging stance. Weinberg, a Philadelphia-based artist and industrial designer, trained at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Throughout the 1950s, he designed, produced, and sold a wide variety of functional and decorative items under his company, Frederic Weinberg Co.
Working with wire, iron and gilded bronze, Weinberg crafted furniture and furnishings for use in homes, businesses and institutions. His most notable pieces included swivel stools with a wrought-iron base and seats made with leather, sheepskin, or woven wicker; Atomic Age–-style clocks; and sculptural table lamps constructed with paper shades and metal frames shaped like lutes and guitars.
Weinberg also made figurative wall sculptures depicting everything from ancient Roman gladiators and Etruscan-style horses to musicians and dancers to fencers and football players. Figuration also features heavily in his bent iron, brass and fiberglass sculptures, many of which he based on his semi-abstract paintings.
Although little is known about Weinberg’s design career, his pieces are highly sought by modern art collectors and interior designers. - More Information
