A finely executed welded steel sculpture depicting a running greyhound, signed "Gabris" and mounted on its original solid travertine base. Research suggests the signature may belong to Deborah Gabris, a California studio metal artist active during the 1970s whose known works explore organic forms through hand-fabricated welded steel. While definitive attribution has not been confirmed, the construction, materials, and sculptural vocabulary closely align with documented examples of her work. The sculpture captures the elegance and athleticism of a greyhound with remarkable economy of line. Rather than relying on surface detail, the artist uses flowing steel rods and carefully balanced negative space to suggest movement and anatomy, allowing the viewer to complete the form. The result is a dynamic composition that changes as it is viewed from different angles. The warm natural travertine base provides a beautiful material contrast to the dark patinated steel and appears to be original to the sculpture. A compelling example of California studio craftsmanship with strong modernist and organic influences. An exceptional addition to a collection of California studio art, modernist sculpture, organic modern design, or postwar decorative arts. Dimensions Width: 14.5 in. Height: 8 in. Depth: 4.25 in. Condition Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina to the steel. Presents beautifully. Please review photographs for details.
