Jay Lefkowitz - Red Sculpture

Red
Jay Lefkowitz, 1990's
Painted metal sculpture
Approximately 15 x 6 in | 38 x 15 cm

A bold, compact sculpture by Michigan-based abstract artist Jay Lefkowitz. Red balances industrial precision with expressive form, featuring clean geometric lines and a vivid red surface that draws the eye. The work reflects Lefkowitz’s deep engagement with material and space, evoking tension and movement within a minimal frame.

Hand-fabricated from metal and finished in a high-pigment red, this piece stands as a focused study in color and balance. Suitable for both pedestal display and shelf placement, Red offers a strong presence despite its modest scale—perfect for collectors drawn to abstract modernism and sculptural clarity.
