Incollect Magazine - Issue 2

Issue 2 52 www.incollect.com Paul Donzella specializes in rare, sculptural pieces by the LaVernes. “Dance of the Fauves” studio-made table in bronze with a polychromed top is one of only two examples known to have been made in this size. Five lower panels, each with welded relief shapes applied. Enameled coloring irregularly placed throughout. This table, circa 1970, is celebratory in spirit while also giving a nod to brutalist architecture. The LaVernes researched historical themes through books and visits to museums drawing upon the images they studied to create the frieze-like composition wrapping this pair of “Romanesque” side tables. On offer from Gallery Girasol through Incollect. Photo courtesy Gallery Girasol.
