Beautiful, large medal cast in bronze, by Ger Zijlstra.
Published in 1977 by the Association for Medal Art.
It was the first time the Association Board commissioned a medal with an abstract design. It is called 'Untitled'; a favorite naming convention for artworks in the 1970s and 1980s. Zijlstra designed a medal that demonstrates once again how relative the concept of 'abstract' actually is. His design evokes a direct association with a sandy beach, the sea, foam, and ash. Organic, flowing forms, where the only straight line separates two flat sections. The clay has been smudged along that line with a finger; this invites the viewer to feel it. The medal is not entirely round: a small protrusion enlivens the whole. The reverse side provides a beautiful contrast: it has been kept smooth, featuring only the Association's vignette and the artist's signature in the center. (source VVPK)
