Carolina Sardi Sold at Auction Prices

Sardi was born in Argentina and was educated at the National University of La Plata, in Argentina, then apprenticed with the sculptor Ennio Iommi. Sardi moved to Miami in 1995, and first took a studio space at the Art Center on Lincoln Road. Later on she moved her studio to Little Haiti.

Sardi has been commissioned for several site specific large scale installations in many of this city’s acclaimed buildings and private homes, including most recently the newly finished Apogee Hollywood condominiums and the Icon Bay project.

She has also been included in the prestigious Heavy Metal exhibition at the National Museum for Women in the Artist in Washington, D.C.

She is best known for her wall installations comprised of organic elements cut from steel and aluminum. She plays with the effects of volume, light and shadow, adding to the work another layer of possibilities. In a recent series she uses polished gold, copper, or chrome surfaces, in which the viewers can find their own reflections, thereby introducing a variety of added readings.
