§ William Black, (British, 20th century), UAngelic Form, 1967, a patinated copper alloy sculpture, signed, titled and dated to underside 42cm (16in)
Other Notes: Having worked as an architect after the Second World War, William Black went on to work as an artist following the inheritance of money in the early 1950s. He was a self taught artist, producing numerous deconstructivist sculptures in the 1960s. He moved to St Ives in Cornwall where he collaborated with artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. There is a clear architectural element to his sculptures. They illustrate an assemblage of fragmented shapes and forms of a deconstructivist nature.
