Modern Sculpture - Woman's Head (1912) - A. Modigliani

The modern sculpture “Woman’s Head” was created by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (* July 12, 1884; †January 24, 1920) in 1912. While the original sculpture of “Woman’s Head” was made of stone this recast was made of 100% finest bronze. And while the original is nowadays exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York this exhibit can be exhibited everywhere, like inside the living room or even at an office. The sculpture was affixed on a base of marble. “Woman’s Head” is a sculpture with a very noble and majestic touch. The pure design of the sculpture is a typical characteristic of all sculptures made by Modigliani. For the perfect finish the modern sculpture “Woman’s Head” was signed with “Modigliani”.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.

“Woman’s Head” is great abstract art, originally made by Amedeo Modigliani. The artist Modigliani was working as sculptor, painter and as illustrator but finally became famous for his nude paintings that were once considered very scandalous. During 1904 and 1914 Modigliani mainly worked as a sculptor; during this time he also created the sculpture “Woman’s Head”. Furthermore he was friends with Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brancusi. During his lifetime he never gained great success and tragically died very early  at the age of 35 because of tuberculosis. Post hum his artworks became great bestsellers and very expensive collector items.
