After sale remarks:
‘Afterthought’ is one of the last pieces designed by Ron Arad in 2007. It is inspired from the preceding model, ‘Southern Hemisphere’, demonstrating the artist’s exploration into the boundaries between furniture and sculpture. The model was executed in three examples, each slightly different in matter or design and hence each unique: the second in patinated steel and bronze, the third in polished steel with red interior

‘Afterthought’ is executed in four examples, each slightly different, thus unique, and not in three examples as indicated in the catalogue. The bibliographical reference pertains to one of the three other examples than the one offered here
Dimensions are : Height : 67 3/4 in. ; Width : 62 5/8 in. ; Depth : 65 3/8 in.
