Description

Incredible lamps by world renown sculptor Gwen Lux whose commissions are in such historical sites as Radio City Music Hall, General Motors Technical Center, The McGraw-Hill Building in Chicago, and the SS United States. These lamps are ceramic of a slight male torso with a grey ceramic base on a weighted oval steel hammered base. There is a lovely patina on these lamps giving them a true ancient Greek sculptural look. There is some ceramic loss on the base. Lamps are 25 to top of torso, 37 to top of finial. Gwen Lux created in a period with other incredible female artists including: Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Helen Frankenthaler, and Judy Chicago.
