Fragment: Hand at Side (1970) presents a section of the human body rendered in raw, unfinished plaster, capturing the quiet authority that defines George Segal's mature practice. Rather than depicting a complete figure, Segal isolates a torso fragment with an arm resting at its side, inviting sustained attention to the textures of casting, the subtle topography of cloth pressed against skin, and the psychological weight carried even in partial form. The work belongs to a pivotal period in Segal's output when he was increasingly interested in the fragment as a complete statement in itself, drawing on a lineage stretching from Rodin's torsos to the incomplete forms of antiquity while grounding that tradition firmly in the vernacular present. The plaster surface retains the immediacy of its making, bearing the traces of gauze bandaging and the hand of the artist in a way that resists idealization entirely. This directness is central to Segal's project, which consistently collapsed the distance between the human body and sculptural material, treating the cast not as a preparatory step but as the finished object of meaning. At 74.9 centimeters in height, the fragment occupies a scale that feels intimate without being precious, demanding close physical engagement from the viewer. Signed by the artist and offered through Broadway 1602, Fragment: Hand at Side represents a focused and highly collectible example of Segal's work from a decade when his critical reputation was firmly established and his formal vocabulary at its most refined. Works of this scale and specificity from the early 1970s are comparatively rare on the market, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece that speaks with real authority to the concerns of postwar American figurative sculpture.
