Pipin Henderson sculpture

This rare bronze sculpture, designed by Pipin Henderson (1924–2016) and produced in Denmark during the 1950s, presents an abstract interpretation of a human face. The design is influenced by Cubism, featuring geometric planes softened by organic forms, which together create a dynamic interplay of shape and volume. The bronze surface has developed a warm, natural patina with subtle tonal variations that enrich the piece’s depth and tactile quality.

Henderson was a modernist sculptor who focused on abstract human expression, reflecting the mid-century Scandinavian artistic values of craftsmanship and material authenticity. This sculpture exemplifies his innovative approach to form and texture within the Scandinavian modern art movement.

The sculpture measures 16 cm in width, 15 cm in depth, and 26 cm in height (6.3 x 5.9 x 10.2 inches). It is mounted on a black wooden pedestal base measuring 23 cm in width, 23 cm in depth, and 63 cm in height (9.1 x 9.1 x 24.8 inches), which provides a striking visual contrast and elevates the artwork. The condition is consistent with age, showing minor wear typical for vintage bronze pieces.
