A Delabole slate fireplace, 1946, by Naum Gabo (1890-1977), height 102cm, width 137.5cm. Mantle shelf, 137.5 x 20.5cm, depth 3.5cm. The following extract is from 'Constructing Modernity, The Art & Career of Naum Gabo' by Christina Lodder & Martin Hammer, reproduced here by kind permission of the authors: Gabo did see one functional design actually executed while he was in Cornwall. In 1946 he produced two identical fireplaces for the house of Mr Ince in Redruth. Gabo had met Ince, the chief obstetrician for Cornwall, through Jane Lowenstein, a friend of Mrs Ince and Miriam Gabo. The commission seems to have come from Mrs Ince who was interested in art. The fireplaces were produced for the family's new home; grey slate for the drawing room and brown for the dining room. Only the former has survived, although not in its original location. Gabo and Ince visited the Polyphant Quarries at Delabole near Tintagel together to choose the stones. The mantelpiece on the extant fireplace consists of one piece of unpolished polyphant stone, three slabs of which also form the hearth, while the bulk of the structure is built up of small pieces of slate, the selection and cutting of which Gabo apparently supervised. His initial design was for a surround completely flush with the wall, but Mrs Ince insisted on having a mantel shelf. The surround curves inwards towards the opening, which is recessed by approximately 4" at the centre, and in this respect the conception is the opposite of a conventional fireplace structure built out into the room. The design is simple and graceful. The small variations in colour and marking on the slates animate the curved surface, while the darker stone of the shelf and hearth highlights the curve and tonal graduations of the surround. Note: Russian-born Gabo was one of the most important and influential figures in Russia's post-revolution avant-garde, the development of modernism in St Ives and arguably, in twentieth century sculpture. This was one of two fireplaces by Gabo commissioned by the Inces. The other, in brown slate has been destroyed. This remaining piece is an intriguing and unique work and it illustrates the way in which the St Ives artists sought to bring their art into everyday life. Gabo emigrated to the United States in 1946 so this would have been amongst the last of his works created in Cornwall. Condition report: Some smoke discolouration above opening, bottom left and bottom right have slight damage/imperfections, Fireplace has been removed as one piece and is crated. Integrity is good. Mantle shelf is separate piece and crated. Also comes with its 3 original hearth slates.
