Hayden is a compact bronze sculpture completed by Guy Dill in 2022, measuring just under forty-four centimeters in height and presenting the kind of concentrated formal energy that characterizes the artist's most considered work. Though entirely abstract, the piece carries unmistakable suggestions of bodily presence, its contours evoking the lean arc of a torso or the momentum of a figure caught mid-gesture. The bronze surface, rich with the depth of cast metal, rewards close attention, shifting in character depending on light and angle of view. Dill, born in California in 1946 and trained at the Chouinard Institute of Art in Los Angeles, has spent decades refining a sculptural language that occupies a distinctive place within American abstraction. His works move freely between intimate indoor scales and monumental outdoor installations, and Hayden belongs to the former category, a work scaled for the domestic or private space where its presence can be encountered repeatedly and at close range. Collections across the country and internationally have recognized the sustained quality of his practice, and signed works at this scale represent an accessible point of entry into an important body of work. Offered through the Laguna Art Museum Benefit Auction, Hayden arrives with the artist's signature and ships from Laguna Beach, California. Buyers should note that shipping costs and applicable fees, including relevant sales tax for shipments within the United States, are the responsibility of the purchaser.
