Beth Hertz Metal Sculpture "Signal"

Item Details

A metal sculpture titled Signal by well-listed artist Beth Hertz (Dayton/New York, b. 1920). The sculpture is comprised of several thin pieces of pierced and solid copper, set onto a metal base. The curvilinear design lend a strong sense of movement to the piece. Being mounted to the base by a single point, the sculpture is subject to slight movement. Unsigned by the artist.

Beth Hertz studied with Stanton MacDonald-Wright and was influenced by early 20th-century Synchromism, a modernist American movement that explored the relationship between color and music. Hertz studied at the Art Students League in New York, the Dayton Art Institute, and received her MFA at Ohio University. Her paintings have been collected by museums as well as private and corporate collections in New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa and California.
