Lassaw has sought investigative inspiration from a plethora of sources such as the morphology and patterns of distant galaxies, earthly nature, and geology. To have a wearable piece of art by one of America's first brutalist sculptors is truly quite special. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1987, Lassaw said, “\u003cem\u003eSince 1951 I estimate that I have made over 1,000 different pieces. I prefer to think of them as wearable sculpture. They reflect the general direction of my sculpture, being asymmetrical and irregular. Each piece is developed without making drawings or plans but welded directly in bronze. My primary interest is in the color and texture of the metal and the stones, and not so much in its intrinsic value.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe intriguing patina and oxidation of the bronze and various metals is an intentionally element likely from acid treatment.  Hook closure at the back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent vintage condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull Length: 10\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNecklace: 6.5\" x 5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePendant Length: 3.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePendant Width: 2.25\" x 3.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibram Lassaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68128746701052,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0243\/2117\/files\/IMG_3440-Photoroom_047445d8-4344-4272-938d-e0efb6a122dc.jpg?v=1794518110","url":"https:\/\/thewaywewore.com\/es\/products\/ibram-lassaw-late-50s-brutalist-bronze-mixed-metal-abstract-sculptural-pendant-necklace","provider":"THE WAY WE WORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
