ART-041 Raymond Karpuska — Monumental Abstract Steel Sculpture, Teal Enamel & Polished Steel, 120"L, Commissioned Work, c. Late 20th C.

A monumental and commanding abstract postmodern steel sculpture attributed to Raymond Karpuska (American, born 1952) — a large-scale work of striking visual presence featuring polished and brushed steel finish with teal blue enamel and black accents. At 120 inches long × 45 inches tall, this is a genuinely architectural sculpture, designed to command space at an institutional or residential scale.

According to family provenance, this sculpture was designed as a commission by Raymond Karpuska — placing it in the tradition of bespoke large-scale public and private sculpture commissions that defined American postmodern sculpture from the 1970s through the 1990s. The combination of industrial steel fabrication, polished and brushed surface treatments, teal blue enamel color accents, and bold abstract form is characteristic of the American postmodern sculpture movement at its most ambitious.

Raymond Karpuska (b. 1952) is an American sculptor working in steel and mixed metals, known for large-scale abstract and postmodern works. This piece is unsigned but accompanied by family attribution confirming the commission.
