A vertical, architectural bronze sculpture featuring strict geometric abstraction. Composed of a circular base invoking the body of a stringed instrument topped by slender vertical columns suggesting a neck or organ pipes, Hommage à la Musique embodies Miklos's fusion of Cubism, Constructivism, and Art Deco refinement. The subtle brown and green patina, applied by Miklos himself, accentuates the crisp purity of its volumes.
Unique piece.
Signed, monogrammed, and dated by the artist.
