    ALEXANDER NEY (RUSSIAN-AMERICAN 1939-2022)

    Est: $500 - $700

    ALEXANDER NEY (RUSSIAN-AMERICAN 1939-2022) Man terracotta 31 H x 13 W x 45 L cm (12 1/4 H x 5 1/4 W x 17 3/4 L in.) signed and marked with copyright symbol under the head PROVENANCE Private Collection, New York LOT NOTES Alexander Ney (1939–2022) was a Russian-American sculptor and painter known for his distinctive terracotta sculptures featuring intricate perforations and elaborate textures. His work is recognized for blending elements of modernism, surrealism, and ancient art, creating pieces that appear both contemporary and timeless. Born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Soviet Union, on May 27, 1939, Ney displayed an early talent for art. He studied at prestigious institutions such as the Art School of the Leningrad Academy of Arts and later at the Stroganov Institute of Art and Design in Moscow. However, his artistic vision often clashed with the strict Soviet art policies of the time, which favored Socialist Realism over experimental or abstract work. During his early career in the Soviet Union, Ney developed a unique sculptural style that defied official artistic conventions. He was inspired by ancient civilizations, primitive art, and modernist movements, creating sculptures that seemed to transcend time. Due to the restrictive cultural environment of the USSR, his work was not widely exhibited, and he faced difficulties gaining official recognition. In 1974, Ney emigrated to the United States, seeking artistic freedom. Settling in New York City, he became part of the vibrant art scene, gaining attention for his distinctive approach to sculpture. His terracotta works, often covered in tiny, maze-like perforations, were seen as a bridge between ancient artistic traditions and modern expressionism. His sculptures and paintings were exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including in France, Germany, and the U.S. Alexander Ney's work is characterized by: Terracotta sculptures: His signature style involves meticulously perforated ceramic and clay sculptures, resembling archaeological artifacts from lost civilizations. Expressive figures: Many of his works feature stylized human and animal forms, sometimes appearing mythical or surreal. Painting and drawing: Alongside sculpture, Ney created paintings and drawings, often imbued with bold colors and primal energy. Keywords: Russian American sculptor, Non-conformist Soviet Art N.B.
