Description
Caroline LEE (1932‒2014). Coffee table with a free-form, organic-looking base, made from hammered and brazed brass plates, with a thick rectangular glass top featuring bevelled edges. Signed in relief on the base, circa 1970. 33 × 140 × 107 cm. (Slight scratches from wear and small chips around the edge of the top) Caroline Lee studied at the Art Institute of Chicago until 1957. The following year, she was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study in Paris, where she settled. Her participation in the Salon de la Jeune Sculpture in 1961 brought her to the attention of the public and collectors, marking a turning point in her young career. She went on to exhibit in several galleries and numerous group exhibitions, showcasing her often monumental works in metal. A member of the Salon de Mai committee, she also taught sculpture at the Hyde Park Art Centre in Chicago. In 2006, she was awarded the Simone and Cino del Duca Foundation Prize for her entire body of work. Upon specific request, the lot can be transported free of charge to our warehouse in Buc, or to our Paris premises (for smaller lots). See the general terms and conditions of sale.
