"Bijan" Brutalist Metal Sculpture

Bijan was born in Iran in 1936 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1959.  In 1962 he moved to L.A. where he attended the Art Center School of Design.  That same year he opened his own art studio.  Bijan's metal sculptures were seen worldwide in the sixties and seventies, and at the time he was referred to as the "Father of Metal Sculpture".  This is an exceptional signed wall sculpture from that period in the Brutalist style.  36" l., 16" h., 4" d.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD
