Unique Forms of Continuity in Space - Umberto Boccioni

Umberto Boccioni’s "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" takes the human form as its starting point and attempts to express in bronze the idea of dynamic movement. The draperies, like pieces of free-flowing armour that cover the figure, appear to be blown by the wind as the figure strides along. The movement resembles walking but is not related directly to any subject; it has become the expression of the dynamic force of change and flux; it moves out into the space surrounding it and that space seems also to press upon it. The sculpture bears the signature of the artist.

Umberto Boccioni was an Italian sculptor of Futurism. The cardinal idea of the futurism was the interpenetration of one section of the world by another that you would not normally see as related. The original of "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" can be seen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The sculpture is depicted on the obverse of the Italian-issue 20 cent euro coin.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
