About the Item
Miguel Ortiz Berrocal Mini Cristina Puzzle Sculpture, Signed #2874/9500
Offered for sale is a Miguel Berrocal (1933-2006) Mini Cristina puzzle sculpture from 1969-1970. This sculpture comes apart in 23 different components and includes wearable jewelry pieces. It is numbered 2874 from the edition of 9500 in nickel-plated metal with enameled detailing. Miguel Berrocal is best known for his interactive sculptural works, which range in scale from the minuscule to the monumental and depict abstract or figurative forms that can be assembled like puzzles. Fascinated from an early age by analytic geometry, science, and drawing, Berrocal quickly turned to sculpture after his schooling. His practice was driven by a strong personal philosophy highlighted by the desire to connect with the viewer through sculptural objects, leading to an analytical, complicated process of study and the construction of touchable works. Berrocal believed that in order to truly experience form, it must be “observed with the hands,” thus emphasizing the viewer’s role in the mental and physical construction of an artwork.
