SOREL ETROG, R.C.A.THE COUPLE, 1965bronzesigned and numbered 2/10 height 13 ins; 33 cms Provenance:Evelyn Aimis Fine Art, TorontoPrivate Collection, OntarioLiterature:Pierre Restany, Sorel Etrog, Prestel Verlag, Munich, London, New York, 2001, page 77.Note:In 1963 Sorel Etrog discovered Etruscan sculpture while visiting Florence, Italy. This encounter would have a significant impact on the artist’s own sculptural works: “One of the most challenging dilemmas sculptors face,” he writes, “is how to join different parts of the body, or different shapes, without gluing or welding them. I was lucky to have discovered the Etruscan links which showed me how to join multiple shapes organically. ‘The Link’ created a tension at the point where they joined, where they pulled together or pulled apart.”
