Wercollier first worked in a style reminiscent of Maillol. About 1952, his forms became increasingly abstract, and his constructions in metal often had an open-work structure in which the void was as important as the solid. The Luxembourg sculptor's love of smooth surfaces, whether in bronze or marble, evokes the polish and patinas of Arp and Brancusi. The Kreeger owns the second of the three casts.
