William Friedle ran a metal sculpture shop in New York City during the early 60’s. He and his brother Bruce opened a showroom called Sculptsmith at 138 west Tenth Street in 1961. He and Bruce were both under 25 years old at the time. They created wonderful brass and copper abstract sculptures, including this one. We have an article from the New York Times dated 1961 on the opening of his shop. Many consider the Friedle’s to be the originators of mod metal starburst designs. Most of their starburst's were created during the 1960’s. Collectors included Malcolm Forbes, Sammy Davis, Jr., Henry Morgan, Jim Henson, Former President Nixon, Ted Kennedy and Dom Delouise and many other notables/collectors. By the end of their shop, Friedle sculptures were selling for up to $60,000.
