The Contemporary Art Collection of Francine & Benson Pilloff, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Jaroslava Brychtová (Czech, 1924-2020), a sculptor, and Stanislav Libenský (Czech., 1921-2002), originally a painter and later a glass artist, met in 1954. They married in 1963 and worked together until Libenský's death. Libenský painted and sketched the designs, and Brychtová made clay sculptures from his designs. Since Libenský's death, Brychtová continued to produce castings. Their work is characterized by simple block shapes infused with subtle colors and nuances.
Good condition; back side with some small white scuffs (possibly original to production).
