Item Details

Hyam Myer (English, 1904-1978)
Untitled, 20th century
Carved marble
Signed “Hyam” to marble

Hyam Myer signed abstract stone sculpture, Mid-Century Modern carved marble female torso, British Modernist sculpture, kneeling nude organic form, vintage Flagship Bank inventory provenance.

The Kneeling Abstract Female Torso by Hyam Myer is a quintessential example of Mid-Century British Modernism. Myer’s association with the London Group places this work within a critical circle of organic abstractionists. The ‘direct carving’ technique utilized here—emphasizing the raw, veined materiality of the marble—is currently seeing a resurgence in the secondary market as collectors pivot from mass-produced MCM decor to unique, tactile artist-led pieces.

The Flagship Bank corporate provenance is a significant value-add, providing a ‘clean’ history that appeals to buyers who prioritize authenticity.
