Artists in conversation

César Baldaccini
French · b. 1921

César similarly transformed industrial and utilitarian forms into refined sculptural multiples using metals with rich surface treatments, sharing Pomodoro's approach of elevating everyday objects into sophisticated bronze and metal based artworks.

Lucio Fontana
Italian · b. 1899

As a fellow Italian artist working in the post-war period, Fontana created gilded and metallic sculptural works that combined geometric precision with luxurious surface finishes, mirroring the refined materiality and Italian modernist sensibility of this gilded bronze piece.

Giò Pomodoro
Italian · b. 1930

Arnaldo's brother Giò worked in the same Italian sculptural tradition producing bronze works with burnished and treated metal surfaces that share the same formal elegance, material richness, and exploration of geometric form found in this gilded door multiple.
