THE ACROBATS One-of-a-kind modernist sculpture
-
Description
Abstract sculpture in hand-patinated zinc foil. A sketch by Yves Pagart reminiscent of the features of two stylized acrobats. Unique piece.
The acrobat is a silhouette suspended between heaven and earth, a tightrope walker of the possible. Her body traces invisible arcs in the air, sculpting the moment with a precarious grace, always on the verge of falling. He embodies the vertigo of balance, the silent dialogue between the lightness of dreams and the weight of reality. Through each jump, each suspension, the acrobat tells the story of the audacity to dare, the fragile beauty of controlled imbalance, and the inner impulse towards the inaccessible.
Yves Pagart’s work is characterized by the manipulation of metal—bending, cutting, rolling, and smoothing steel sheets—to create sculptural furniture that often draws inspiration from the natural world. His pieces, such as the “Tamanoir” low table and the “Pangolin” dining table, exhibit organic forms that blur the line between art and functionality. These works are typically produced in limited editions, emphasizing their exclusivity and artistic value.
Pagart’s works have been exhibited internationally and are sought after in the art and design markets. Notably, his “Chaise longue ‘Mante’” (1998) achieved a record auction price of $12 000 at Christie’s Paris in 2024, underscoring his prominence in the field of contemporary functional art. -
