Made of concrete, iron and pyrite.
Signed Pia Manu in a small cartouche.
Circa 1970.
Special order for an owner in Flanders (Belgium). Several important pieces by Pia Manu of this same provenance will be presented in the coming days by @igmarstuer and @pschantiques.
Representative of the Flemish Brutalists
he models or sculpts primitive forms with materials with a powerful or anti-poetic texture (as he himself calls them) using concrete, earth and slate.
