Notes

After working mainly with constructions of steel pipes in the 1970s, Villa produced, in the mid-1980s, a series of organic, playful and sometimes erotic compositions or groups of intertwined figures with juxtapositions of rounded masses and angled planes. He referred to these works in bronze as ‘conversations’ between forms.
