Description

Abba, Acqua, Amanzi was created by Bobbi Mastrangelo especially for The Attleboro Arts Museum 2007 Auction. The fortunate owner of this exquisite relief work will be delighted with the surprise feature of three more water covers on the reverse side, including an Attleboro Water Cover smack in the center. Internationally known for her unique theme of manhole covers and water covers, "The Grate Lady" converted an unfinished wood triple spinning frame into a Renaissance Masterpiece. Mastrangelo's original designs combine her love of languages and culture with her passion for the environment. Global "Water Words" are Abba (Sardinia, Italy) Acqua (Corsica & Italy) Amanzi (Zulu: Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland) Water Symbol Shouei (Chinese: China, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan & Thailand) and W symbolizing Waasser (Luxembourg) Wai (New Zealand) Wakka (Ainu Japan) Wasser (Germany) Water (English Speaking Nations) and Woda (Poland).

 6.5" X 20" X 5" Freestanding Sculpture with Six Decorative Rotating Water Covers (three on each side).  

Bobbi Mastrangelo's "Grateworks" transforms manhole covers, sewers and grates into artistic streetscapes. Her sculpture relief works appear so realistic that viewers wonder how she could even lift them to hang on the wall. She is a member of The National Association of Women Artists and is listed in The Marquis's "Who's Who in American Art". Her art is prominent in collections including: The Baltimore Museum of Public Works, The Heckscher Museum, The Islip Art Museum and the Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University.
