Masterpiece of postmodern design: A pair of monumental sculptural coat racks paying homage to René Magritte, produced in Italy by the renowned Antartidee during the 1980s. True functional sculptures, these exceptional pieces embody the subversive and poetic spirit of Belgian surrealism combined with Italian craftsmanship. Finding an identical and perfectly symmetrical pair today is an absolute rarity in the art market. Each piece incorporates two of Magritte's most famous visual manifestos: The crown (Upper part): Four three-dimensional relief noses fixed on a black geometric block, directly echoing the work "La Bonne Aventure" (1937). The base: A masterful reinterpretation of the famous oil "Le Modèle Rouge" (1935), where the human foot disturbingly merges with a laced leather boot. Technical details & condition: Publisher: Antartidee (Italy). Period: 1980s / postmodern era. Materials: Lacquered tubular metal structure, hand-painted sculpted art resin for the anatomical elements. Dimensions: Monumental height of approximately 170cm – 30cm. Condition: Excellent vintage conservation state. The original patinas are superb, and the structure is perfectly stable. Minimal very discreet signs of use that testify to their history without altering their stunning visual impact. A unique opportunity for collectors of 20th-century design, interior architecture firms, or to adorn the entrance of a prestigious residence, a luxury hotel, or an art gallery.
