COMPONENT ART SCULPTURE MOUNTED ON WOOD LIKE BASE VINTAGE TV (2017) Rzeźba autorstwa Bill Reiter

Offered for your consideration is this mid 20th century component art, wood mounted sculpture. Artist Signed.

Television recording circuitry and mechanicals are used to pay homage to the medium that we all grew up with in this table sculpture assemblage.

Great color, texture and complicated presence that speaks to the components that helped form us.

These are evocative of cerebral circuitry. A good work to contemplate in all of its beauty, complications and marvelous man made roboticism.

Sculptor and Cinema Antiques Founder, Bill Reiter, uses materials in his work, such as vintage circuit boards, integrated circuits, chips, digital and analog components, tubes, drives belts, resistors, transistors, connectors, rheostats, potentiometers, gauges, analog and digital readout displays, gearings and a host of other component materials that have been used to fabricate equipment and controls of our past and current daily lives.

Pieces are wall-hung sculptures, free-standing sculptures, shelf displays and desk paperweights in various sizes. By shaping various technical components, from the past and present, into specialized design pieces, Reiter shapes an organic vision based on the materials that effect and often control our daily lives.

This view of the ‘stuff of life’ aggregates and separates the components of our lives into a shared vision of life among the ‘components.’

“They are all around us.”

By mastering, repurposing and controlling these component bits, we may gain a better look at where we come from, as well as seeing the hardware, salvage, surplus and artifacts of our society in all of its negative as well as positive influences.
