This is a brutalist sculpture from the 80's signed by Whitish and date 8? cant make out the 2nd digit. This is a cut metal plant with 6 stalks mounted into a Mexican pot. The leafs are shiny on that underside and have a patina on the top side. There piece displays well and has all of its pieces. One leaf is loose and is floating on the stem you can see the last 2 pics show that leaf in different positions. The metal might be brass as I magnet tested it and the magnet did stick to the stems but not the leaves. The leaves are pliable and can be opened and closed a bit more or less as you like. The piece measures 42" tall and 21" diameter at the widest point. The average diameter is 18". The pot is 4 1/2" tall.
I am not wanting to ship this as it is fairly fragile.
