Salvino Marsura L’Attesa sculpture

L’Attesa means ‘the wait’ or ‘anticipation’ in Italian and this slender anthropoid statue brings to mind a moment of pent-up energy just before a great reveal.   

The piece is in good condition and features the sculptor’s signature on the base. 

Salvino Marsura (1938-2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
