Glass sculpture plate by Arnaldo Pomodoro

Extraordinary engraved glass plate-sculpture, signed by Arnaldo Pomodoro, one of the most important figures in contemporary Italian art and sculpture. The work features a flat, circular surface, enriched with geometric bas-reliefs and graphic signs typical of the artist’s language, in which abstract and symbolic forms intertwine in a radial composition of great visual strength. The transparent glass, masterfully worked, alternates smooth and sandblasted surfaces, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. The artist’s engraved signature is clearly visible along the rim, and the piece was produced by Edizioni Ars D, Milan, an important publisher/engraver of artist multiples, active between the 1960s and 1980s. The company specialized in transforming artists’ ideas and sketches into art objects produced in limited editions, overseeing production, numbering, and presentation. Pomodoro collaborated with them to bring his sculpture into everyday life: the plates were created from original sketches, signed by the artist and made in “superior sonorous” glass, using techniques such as engraving and sandblasting. This piece combines the material purity of glass with the complexity of Pomodoro’s sculptural mark, resulting not only in a refined decorative object but also in a tangible testament to his unmistakable style. Please note that this object is in excellent vintage condition. Minor signs of time may be present, which do not affect its functionality.
