Émile Gilioli (1911 - 1977), was French sculptor and one of the representatives of abstract French sculpture in the 1950’s. Gilioli’s work is remarkably unified in form, material and style. The form always revolves around the perfection of the egg shape, or the polished pebble – that ideal quality of the material refinement, when polished, smoothed up to reflectance. This remarkable thoroughness reveals the inner craftsman in him, that will always remain and reflects Gilioli’s talent for inscribing formal perfection in his artistic work. He was recognized by several exhibitions organized in the most famous galleries and museums in the world, Tate Gallery in London, MOMA, New York, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, to name a few.
