Lars-Erik Falk sculpture
This rare wall sculpture was designed by Swedish artist Lars-Erik Falk in 1963 and is a compelling example of mid-century Scandinavian concretism. It is part of a limited edition, numbered 3 out of 4, underscoring its rarity and collectible status.
The sculpture is made from white lacquered metal, crafted into a rhythmic composition of angular, folded planes. Its three-dimensional form interacts dynamically with light and shadow, changing appearance based on the viewer’s perspective and surrounding illumination. The precise geometric arrangement exemplifies Falk’s dedication to concrete art, which prioritizes mathematical structure and abstraction over representational forms.
Lars-Erik Falk (1922–2018) was a prominent figure in Swedish concretism, an artistic movement focused on non-representational geometric compositions emphasizing clarity, balance, and repetition. His work is recognized for its sculptural engagement with space, movement, and modular construction.
The sculpture remains in very good condition, showing only minor signs of wear consistent with its age. It measures 89 cm in width, 12 cm in depth, and 65 cm in height (35 by 4.7 by 25.6 inches), representing a refined example of mid-century abstract sculpture.
