"Bowl" (c. 1948) by Serge Nekrassoff, a Russian-born American artist, is a stunning example of metalwork, crafted from hammered copper. The bowl's form is characterized by a dynamic, swirling pattern, creating a sense of movement and energy. The intricate details, including the textured surface and the delicate, petal-like edges, showcase Nekrassoff's mastery of metalworking techniques. This piece, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, reflects the artist's talent for creating both functional and aesthetically pleasing objects.

Serge Nekrassoff excelled at working copper into spiraling shapes. This decorative bowl recalls a large flower, with flowing petals and a center hammered to look like the stamen of a daisy. He has also created a sense of movement in the candlesticks, with their twisting stems. If you look into the bowl or candlestick drip cups closely, you can see where Nekrassoff skillfully gave motion to these stationary objects—making solid copper look like water swirling down a drain.
