Sascha Brastoff Alaska Series Sculptures - Polar Bear Pair Orange

Sascha Brastoff (1917–1993) was a multifaceted American artist whose career spanned performance, costume design, and ceramics. In 1947, he established a ceramics studio in Los Angeles, which became renowned for its mid-century modern designs and employed a team of artists to produce his creations. Among his notable works is the “Alaska Series,” a collection of decorative sculptures and tableware inspired by Alaskan wildlife and indigenous themes.

Crafted in warm amber-hued resin with a softly frosted finish, this charming pair of polar bear sculptures, dubbed “Hindsight”, showcases Brastoff’s playful yet sophisticated approach to animal form. Their rounded silhouettes and gently arched stances evoke the quiet grace of Arctic creatures moving across ice, while the translucent glow of the resin adds a touch of mid-century elegance to any display.
