Two Piece Abstract Embracing Couple Sculpture by Itzik Benshalom

Two slim figures turning toward each other. Move their bases and the embrace is complete.

This two piece abstract embracing couple sculpture is by Itzik Benshalom (1945-2018), in brass and steel. Abstract figure sculpture of this kind is made for collectors' homes and offices, reducing people to a few lines so that the subject becomes the feeling between them. Each polished brass form twists upward from its base, broad at the shoulder and narrow at the neck, ending in a small squared head. The dark bases are arcs that fit together to complete a circle. It stands 14.5 inches high, seven wide and seven deep.

Apart, they wait. Together, they do not need you at all.
