Description

The sandcasting technique invented by Nivola made it possible to create relief panels that could be mounted to cover even very large wall surfaces, such as the facade of the Mutual of Hartford Insurance Company, built in 1958 in Hartford, Connecticut, of which the museum preserves the sketch. The sculptures were made with the same material used for the construction of modern buildings, concrete, and with the same carpentry; transported in the formworks used to build them, they could travel with the normal means of transport used on the site and without special insurance conditions. Nivola aimed at a “normalization” of sculpture, which would deprive it of its aura of exceptionality, bringing it closer to everyday life. The work of art, which has become part of common existence, had to contribute to improving society by creating a more harmonious and pleasant environment.
