French Trident Motif Sculpture by Boleslaw Danikowski, 1960s

$8,000.00

A French trident motif sculpture from the 1960s by Boleslaw Danikowski, this piece carries the presence of a totem in its verticality and form. The sculpture rises with deliberate rhythm, the trident shapes extending like architectural punctuation, commanding space with a quiet authority.

Danikowski, known for his ceramic collaborations with Guillerme et Chambron, brings to this work the same mastery of surface and form that marked his contributions to mid-century French design. Each line and contour is thoughtful, echoing the geometry of modernist abstraction while retaining the tactile warmth of hand-crafted ceramic.

Its trident motif suggests a symbolic gravity, yet the sculptural volume is playful in its totem-like cadence. Placed on a pedestal, it commands attention from floor to eye level; against a wall, it enlivens the room’s vertical axis.

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1960s
