Up for sale is a magnificent, authentic mid-century modernist sculpture by renowned Hungarian-American artist Istvan Toth. Toth operated out of his famous Hollywood Hills studio starting in the 1960s, creating striking biomorphic abstract forms that perfectly captured the glitz and geometry of the era.
This particular piece is his iconic \"Hollywood Stylized Owl,\" featuring beautiful flowing curves, deep contrasting hollows, and a highly detailed textured finish resting on its original black pedestal base.
