"Cityscape" Cocktail Table in Patchwork Polished Chrome Documented by Paul Evans
-
Description
This Mid-Century Modern cocktail table represents a striking example of Paul Evans celebrated "Cityscape" series. It features welded and polished chrome triangular forms, each offering a patchwork of rectilinear blocks that meet at the centre in a central square joint. The aesthetic- challenging, bold, and sublime- unmistakably belongs to Evans. Evans said of his practice, in a 1975 brochure for Directional: "Every piece is made by hand. One piece at a time. Every piece is finished by hand. One piece at a time. And every piece is supervised every step of the way by the artist who conceived it." This attention to detail and superlative craftsmanship is evident in every perfectly welded joint and seam of the piece. While this is a perfectly functional cocktail table, ideally suited for any modern interior, it is also a work of art in its own right. Excellent vintage condition.
