Large Mino Rosso Torso Sculpture/Vessel
Artist/Designer: Mino Rosso (Italian, 1904-1963)
Additional Information: Mino Rosso (1904–1963) was an Italian modernist sculptor whose works reflected the innovative spirit of post-war Italian design, blending traditional forms with bold, abstract influences. This large torso sculpture/vessel exemplifies Rosso’s mastery of form and texture, with its dynamic interplay of curves and voids that evoke the organic elegance of mid-century Italian design. Rosso’s work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, including Gio Ponti, Fausto Melotti, and Luciano Minguzzi, whose sculptural language redefined the boundaries between art and design. The piece’s dual function as a vessel further underscores Rosso’s ability to merge practicality with artistic expression, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors of modernist sculpture and decorative arts.
