POL BURY: LIMITED EDITION 'TIGES SUR UN CARRÉ' RING, 1974The square plaque set with kinetic batons, signed Pol Bury, numbered 4/30, French assay marks, ring size IFootnotes:Provenance:A Private Collection of 20th Century JewelleryPol Bury (1922-2005) was a Belgian sculptor who began his artistic career as a painter. The focus of Bury's art shifted in 1952 after he attended an exhibition of Alexander Calder's work. The movement in Calder's mobiles greatly inspired Bury and he began producing kinetic sculptures. While investigating metal and movement in his sculptures and public fountains, Pol Bury began exploring these themes on a much smaller scale. Working with GEM Montebello in Milan and Galerie Maeght in Paris, he produced a series of limited edition gold jewels, many of which were successfully exhibited at Cartier in New York in 1971, attracting the attention of the press. 'He thinks the rings, bracelets and medallions should be sold with their own cubes... when they are not being worn they could be set on the cubes like a miniature sculpture. He may be starting more than he thinks...' (Sheppard, E., 'Inside Fashion', New York Post, Monday 12 April 1971). Pol Bury was one of a select number of artists to successfully translate their work into jewellery. Unusually for artist jewellery at this time, Bury's limited edition jewels often sold out upon exhibition. His 'Tiges sur un Carré' ring was made by Gennari for Galerie Maeght in an edition of 30.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
