A. Pisani, “la Pomme,” A Surrealist Pop Art Sculpture In Silver-plated Bronze, 1974
A surrealist and Pop Art sculpture created by A. Pisani in 1974, depicting a partially bitten apple from which two shapes emerge that resemble human fingers. The artist thus reimagines an everyday object to create an unusual image that is both humorous and slightly unsettling.
The apple, crafted from silver-colored metal, likely silver-plated bronze, features a deliberately textured surface. Its symbolism—desire, knowledge, temptation—blends here with the world of 1970s Pop Art and its penchant for reimagining familiar objects.
Signed A. Pisani and dated 1974. Numbered edition 792/1000.
