Jacques Lipchitz (1891–1973) “Meditation”
About the Sculpture
Grandview Art & Auctions is honored to present an exceptional bronze by the renowned Cubist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz (1891–1973): Meditation (1926), Cast 3/7. A cornerstone work from the artist’s mature period, Meditation showcases Lipchitz’s innovative approach to sculptural form—merging Cubist structure with emotional intensity and lyrical abstraction.
