- Lot Description
(American/Canadian, born 1960)
Princess X, cast and carved glass, steel, rope, 68-1/4 x 19 x 14-1/2 in.
Provenance: Private Collection
Note: Speaking of his inspiration for his figurative work Beck says, "My wife, Valerie, got me a book by Yve-Alain Bois about the competitive relationship between Picasso and Matisse. Their artistic dialogue about the figure has fired my imagination, especially the way they shared and borrowed images and ideas from one another, as well as from history and literature."
This sculpture was inspired by the work of the same name by Brancusi. She is a figure in three parts, each repeating the motif that originates with Princess X. The cart, or the wheels with the work alludes to forms or ideas that should move, but do not of their own accord.
Beck taught at Pilchuck, the Appalachian Center for Crafts 1989 to 1991, and Penland School of Crafts 1991 to 1994. His work is held by major museums including the Asheville Art Museum. This lot is accompanied by three booklets on the artist.
