1950s Abstract Sculpture by Jan Snoeck
Jan Snoeck (1927-2018)
period: 1950s
origin: The Netherlands
dimensions (cm): h46 x w21 x d29 cm
dimensions (inch): h18,11 x w8,27 x d11,42 in
material: concrete, unglazed ceramic
Snoeck was a multidisciplinary artist mostly known for his sculptures and later ceramic works with colorful glazing.
A very large quantity of his works remains in the public domain and museum collections.
The piece we have available was part of the artist’s personal collection and was acquired from his widow. It is an early work from the 1950s when color was not yet part of his oeuvre. The shape, which can be interpreted as a chair or a figure sitting on a block, is something he kept on using throughout the years even when the pieces became more figurative and colorful.
