Technique, science and natural phenomena are the themes in Tom Shannon's work. He enjoys working with self-developed magnetic systems, by means of which he brings his objects to float. So in the present object r a gently curved, elliptic wooden element hovers above its twin-like base held in place only by a nearly invisible thin steel cord.

The wood object is in very good condition. Both wood elements with the incorporated magnets measure each ca.40 x 24.5 x 5 cm. The steel cord has a length of 9.4 cm (without mounting end pieces).

Tom Shannon (b. 1947)
Tom Shannon graduated from the University of Wisconsin and received his Master of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1971. Since his first presentation at the MoMA in 1969, he has been famous for his conceptual works revealing scientific themes and natural forces, such as magnetism. His magnetically levitated sculptures are, for instance, some of his best-known works. His ideas often require him to slip into the role of an inventor and by now Shannon even holds a number of patents. His works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions, including presentations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Stedeljik Museum in Amsterdam and the Whitney Museum in NY. The award-winning artist lives and works in Manhattan, today. (fea)

Buyer's Premium

The amount of the buyer`s premium is calculated as follows:

at a hammer price up to 1.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 29.75 % (including VAT); the buyer's premium amounts to 23.8 % (including VAT) of the winning bid for classic cars.

at a hammer price between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 23,80 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro and 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro

at a hammer price more than 2.000.000,01 Euro the buyer´s premium is 17.85 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro, 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro and 14,28% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount beginning with 2.000.000,01 Euro.
