Claire Falkenstein Sculpture

Fat Chance dealer Jeff Schuerholz describes this kinetic copper-and-bronze sculpture by California artist Claire Falkenstein (1908–1997) as his most popular item. The piece, which dates to 1963, moves on a ring underneath the sculpture that, when turned, causes all of the little balls go into motion. Falkenstein is best known for her elaborate metal gates made for Peggy Guggenheim’s Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in Venice, Italy, although she worked in ceramics, prints, stained glass, and jewelry. $23,000 from
