Sculpture “Saxophone” by Yves Lohe, 1980s

This striking sculpture in cast bronze and pressed glass by French artist Yves Lohe depicts a saxophone in a surreal, expressive transformation. The work is crafted from a dynamic combination of cast bronze and pressed glass, with tentacle-like forms that appear to wrap around or emerge from the instrument.

The translucent blue-green glass contrasts beautifully with the warm bronze, creating a vivid interplay of transparency, weight, and motion. Every detail is carefully executed — from the contours of the saxophone to the organic, almost creature-like elements that animate the piece.

A visually powerful and musically inspired sculpture — lyrical, elegant, and full of movement — true to Yves Lohe’s artistic vocabulary.
