“CXC I” is a definitive study in spatial geometry by the master of industrial elegance, Larry Mohr (1921\u20132013)<\/b>. Standing as an early pillar of his famed “CXC” series, this 1998 bronze explores the tension between weight and air. By interlocking heavy bronze beams into a rhythmic, open composition, Mohr invites the viewer to see the sculpture not just as an object, but as a frame for the space surrounding it.<\/p>\n
Unlike his monumental outdoor installations, “CXC I” offers an intimate look at Mohr’s structural genius. The work is signed, titled, and dated by the artist, serving as a sophisticated “Desktop Monument” that reflects the same architectural DNA found in his works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/b> and Cornell University<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Artistic Context:<\/b> Mohr was a “Sculptor of the I-Beam.” He revolutionized the use of industrial materials, treating welded and bolted bronze with the same reverence classical sculptors gave to marble. “CXC I” is a pure expression of this philosophy\u2014raw, geometric, and undeniably modern.<\/p>\n Artist:<\/b> Larry Mohr (American, 1921\u20132013)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Title:<\/b> CXC I<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Date:<\/b> 1998<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Medium:<\/b> Cast and Fabricated Bronze<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dimensions:<\/b> 5″ H x 14-3\/4″ W x 8″ D<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Markings:<\/b> Signed, Numbered, Titled, and Dated on the base.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Condition Report:<\/b> Good estate condition. Note: The bronze surface shows minor characteristic scuffs and surface scratches consistent with age and estate handling. These do not affect the structural integrity but add a “lived-in” patina to the industrial finish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “CXC I” is a definitive study in spatial geometry by the master of industrial elegance, Larry Mohr (1921\u20132013).
