1977 Vintage Cosanti Windbell by Paolo Solari

Details Details Close Description Brutalist Style. Uncommon early shape. Fantastic patina. Wonderful sound. I bought this early piece at the Arcosanti foundry of Paolo Solari in Paradise Valley, Arizona in 1977. It is a sand-cast bronze bell, clapper, and hanging bar with his signature copper “fin” shaped windcatcher. All the parts are original, except for the internal chain between the clapper and the bell, which was replaced with a new Cosanti chain. It has a verdigris patina that has been enhanced from being exposed to a Northern California seaside environment. less DIMENSIONS 5.25ʺW × 5.25ʺD × 32.5ʺH STYLES Brutalist ART SUBJECTS Geometric DESIGNER Paolo Soleri PERIOD 1970s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN United States ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS BronzeCopper CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections COLOR Bronze TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES It is in antique condition with a desirable patina acquired over time and exposure to the seaside elements.
