Paul Braslow — Abstract Figural Bronze Sculpture, Green Patina, AP 1, on Granite Base

A refined and graceful abstract sculpture by Paul Braslow (American, 1927–2013) — a New York-based sculptor whose elongated, stylized figural forms draw from the modernist tradition of Brancusi and Giacometti while maintaining a distinctly warm, humanist sensibility. This piece presents a fluid, vertical figural form in a rich green patina finish, its smooth contours and tapering silhouette conveying both movement and stillness — characteristic of Braslow's mature work.

The sculpture is signed and marked AP 1 (Artist Proof, number 1) near the lower portion of the figure — the most desirable designation in any edition, indicating a proof retained by or for the artist before the numbered edition was released. It is mounted on a square black granite base that grounds the vertical composition with architectural elegance.

At 21.5 inches tall, this is a commanding presence for a desk, console, or shelf — substantial enough to anchor a room without overwhelming it. The green patina finish gives it a classical, timeless quality that works equally well in mid-century modern, contemporary, or traditional interiors.
