A SIGNED VASCO PEREIRA DA CONCEIÇÃO (1914-1992) ABSTRACT SCULPTURE, 1966, PORTUGAL - A fine abstract sculpture by the Portuguese artist Vasco Pereira da Conceição (1914-1992), one of the most prolific and well-known of the Portuguese sculptors of the 20th century. This piece appears to be an example from his series entitled ”Human Suggestion”. The piece is signed to the base with the initials 'V.P.C.' and dated '1966'. Exhibiting his first sculpture in 1930, da Conceição showed himself to be a talented artist already at the young age of 16.
