Description

Bertoia's Dandelion form is widely regarded to be the apex of his career. An overwhelming physical presence is balanced by its truly delicate nature. A gilt bronze central sphere is the basis of the form, created by successive application of hundreds of individual gilt wire sprays. Raised on a heavy brass stem, set into a solid granite base.
