Bob Bennett: “Courtship” – Modernist Abstract Bronze (#86/100, 1989)

Americal Eclectic is proud to present “Courtship,” a masterwork of abstract fluidism by the renowned California sculptor Bob Bennett (1928–2003). Created in 1989, this 14-inch bronze captures the essence of partnership and rhythmic balance through Bennett’s signature “ribbon” forms—where solid metal appears to flow with the grace of silk.

This specific work is part of the strictly limited B-100 edition, making it a more exclusive find than his later, larger editions. Weighing a substantial 9 pounds, the sculpture features a sophisticated interplay of high-polished bronze highlights against a deep, hand-applied patina. Authenticated by an original COA signed by the artist, this is an investment-grade example of 1980s American Modernism.
