Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (Spanish, 1933-2006)
Romeo e Giulietta (Opus 101)
Impressed signature and number "berrocal 1411" on the underside.
Polished brass, 5 7/8 x 8 1/4 x 5 1/4 in. (15.0 x 20.5 x 13.0 cm).

N.B. Berrocal produced this articulated and interlocking puzzle sculpture, comprised of sixteen discrete elements (excluding the base), in an edition of 2,000, in Italy in1966-67. The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Charlotte, North Carolina, produced a video demonstrating the disassembling and reassembling of the work, highlighting its technical intricacy alongside its playful nature (https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/IliRClY6ooHpR1PS9s2qf?domain=youtube.com).
An illustrated instruction manual, Romeo e Giulietta, 1967, Berrocal, Instrucciones para el montaje (Verona, Italy: Berrocal/Arcangelo, 1967), accompanies the lot, and serves as its certificate of authenticity (the artist considered this book an integral part of the artwork).
We would like to thank the Fundación Escultor Berrocal for their kind assistance in cataloging this work.Condition
Condition: The Fundación Escultor Berrocal recommends polishing the sculpture to a high shine by applying a brass and metal polish (in particular, ZEP FIVE STAR™ Brass and Metal Polish) and buffing with an ultra-soft undyed cotton cloth.
