Capture the essence of 1980s Postmodernism with this striking figurative sculpture. Designed by artist Yael Shalev for the renowned Austin Productions, this piece titled "Yael" is a masterclass in elegant abstraction and elongated form. The "negative space" created by the figure's resting arms adds a geometric complexity to the piece, making it visually interesting from every angle. The surface boasts a rich, hand-finished stone-like texture in a soft sand-beige hue, providing a tactile quality that contrasts beautifully against its sleek, black gallery base. This vintage piece is in good overall condition, retaining its original texture and structural integrity. As shown in the detailed photography, there is a small, honest chip on the lower edge of the arm.
Clearly marked and dated, this is a genuine 1985 release from Austin Productions, a company famous for bringing museum-quality sculptural aesthetics into the mid-century and postmodern home. Austin Productions ceased statue manufacturing in 2009, making these 80s-era pieces increasingly collectible. This particular Shalev design is a perfect bridge between classical form and 1980s "Deco Revival" style.
