The Haas Brothers — Ball Giamatti
The Haas Brothers

Ball Giamatti

2024

Ball Giamatti is a commanding sculptural work by the Los Angeles based duo The Haas Brothers, comprising Nikolai and Simon Haas, known for their imaginative blend of fine art and otherworldly craft. The bronze form rises from a richly textured verdigris patinated base evocative of a pine cone or organic sea creature, erupting into a fan of polished golden bronze stalks topped with smooth spherical forms. The sculpture rests on a cylindrical marble base that grounds the organic exuberance of the bronze above it. This piece exemplifies the brothers signature fusion of natural forms, material contrast, and playful surrealist imagination, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors of contemporary sculpture.
