    Does anyone know a piece of work by Boccioni thats called " Unique shape of Continuity in space" if so i would like to hear about what you think of it.

    Myself i think its a great piece of work that Umberto created to help bring cubism, movent and futurism all together.

    Also if anyone knows where i could buy a copy of this piece could you let me know please, thanks

    Created in 1931. It's dimensions are; Bronze, 43 7/8 x 34 7/8 x 15 3/4" (111.2 x 88.5 x 40 cm).

    The actual name is; Unique forms of Continuity in Space, I'm not sure if a copy is available to buy since that may be illegal / forgery.

    I never heard of this work before, I think it looks like a piece of cloth in the wind and made me think of the red cape the comic character spawn wears since it too looks so "alive" but maybe I'm just weird :(

    The human shape the statue resembles strengthens it being "alive" I think. I can't seem to improve the description you gave about it though, it would be cool if you really could find a copy of this.

    Greetings,

    I agree cubism, movent and futurism are brought all together in this piece. Have you tried Ebay?
