I was actually in his barn when I was a young child. His studio barn full of musical sculptures were amazing to me, as a kid. I, with my family, were his next door neighbors!

You might know this woman from your childhood.
More flexible than I expected!
Exactly. Thought she was going to town on it at first. Like bish, that’s $30k, what are you doing?
I remember the first time I ever saw one of these. It was a hot and breezy day and the rods were swaying and making a sweet sound. It did remind me of prairie grass.
Cool. They had a lady with a couple of Bertoia brooches on another episode.
I like how we're seeing more modernist items on the show.
This one looks like monel (a nickel alloy) to me, and the year would have been 1970 or later by the welds. Nevertheless, a real beauty!
oh! i was thinking 'who's this random internet person who can pick out the alloys and welds' but…i guess you would know!
Well you should know!
Daughter knows best.
show off!!!!
:)
So simple yet so cool.
Beautiful!
Her response almost felt like tears that she can’t enjoy it on her porch anymore.
Funny to see this, since Knoll furniture in Grand Rapids MI is closing.
Bertoia made albums of the sounds made by these sonambients. My bachelor uncle would play them for my brothers and I and we would improvise dance acts for the adults. You can hear them here on youtube. He also made fantastic giant sculptures for office lobbies, etc.
Bertoia only made furniture during one year, 1952. But rather remarkable and still in production. Not the most comfy, as made from steel wire, but with upholstery they are perfect shapes. He looked at his chairs as sculpture. “Space passes right through them”.
I would love to hear that on my porch
Great sculpture
“ if you just run your hand by it “ and she mauled the thing , lol.
Aeolian Art. There is something like that at the beginning of the horror movie Wolfen.
I think the Spencer Art Museum at The University of Kansas has one.
Amazing that none of the rods are bent. And it look like grain waving when strummed.
So that's a sculpture huh? Who knew?!! VIsually stunning?
These rods appear to be more rigid than the beryllium copper ones. They are probably one of his works in which he used stainless steel rods. He was known to experiment with different metals.
Sold.
Run your hands across it..... RAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Looks like old wtc buildings
Anybody else think this woman in the thumbnail was the sculpture?
🙋
Kinda rough with that $20k piece or art work there.
I watched this episode and the appraiser held a newspaper from 1797 with no gloves on..☹️
Pat Miller-Frame you're not supposed to wear gloves when handling paper because you lose dexterity and often damage it
Ryan Genereaux I would think oil from your hands would damage worse..ok
@@patrmiller7 Apparently that is more true for paint and not paper. I didn't know it either.
20k-30k for a few metal pipes in a metal base....i'm in the wrong business
She tried to break it?
$19.59 wind chime at wal mart
She got it free yet worth $20,000+
🖕 Cheap Walmart Chinese plastic.
a lot of dime for a chime
if i tried to sell this on ebay i would be lucky to get 500 bucks probably @ 3:40
Brass Trains And Video Games Galore rick be like i gotta frame it😒😂😃
who would pay that much for this thing though
people with taste
people who understand art.
I would!
@@RioMuc All idiots
@@kb26inla Idiots are the ones who know nothing about art, but think they are smart.
Cha Ching
So she’s an art teacher and didn’t know who Bertoia is? Interesting?
Exactly- evidently her stupid brother's as well. Art lost on the uneducated an inane. 🌬🕯
🟥🟥🟥 What a Treasure : How could she not know BERTOIA ? WTF. 🟥🟥🟥
Modern art sucks, and this is a wonderful example of the complete lack of competence and skill exhibited in such junk. The exacting skill required to make a genuine piece of art is becoming a relic of the past. How sad.
