"Flame" — an original polished bronze abstract sculpture on a wooden base by Leonardo Nierman (Mexico City, 1932–2023), numbered six of six. A major work at commanding scale by one of Mexico's most internationally celebrated modernist artists. Provenance: the collection of Martin Welfeld, Chicago.

Nierman's monumental works can be found in many of Mexico's major cities and abroad — in universities, concert halls, research centers, libraries, cultural centers and public spaces in Canada, the United States, Ecuador, Lithuania and beyond. His metal sculptures evoke movement and harmony, often making use of spirals, and frequently depict abstracted birds, angels, flames and musical instruments. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Detroit Institute of Arts; the Indianapolis Museum of Art; the Art Institute of Chicago; and the Vatican Gallery, among dozens of others worldwide.

Polished bronze was among Nierman's signature materials — the reflective surface amplifying the sense of movement and light that defines his aesthetic. The Chicago provenance places this work in the city where some of Nierman's most prominent public sculptures are installed, including his landmark Flame of the Millennium at the Kennedy Expressway. Nierman passed away on 7 June 2023 at the age of 90.
