About
Tony Rosenthal Maquette for Marty's Cube, 1983 is a unique highly polished Hand Cut Welded Bronze Table Top sculpture that rotates on its base, just like the larger Public Art version installed Boca Raton Museum of Art, Florida. Titled Tony Rosenthal's Marty's Cube, 1983, the larger version is fabricated in Painted Steel and measures 168 x 137 x 137 inches. For the record, Tony Rosenthal's most famous Cube, titled Alamo, 1967, created in Cor-Ten Steel, also known as the Astor Place Cube is located in New York City, also rotates and is a New York favorite.
In 2023 the Estate of Tony Rosenthal issued a posthumous Brass Cube titled Study of Alamo, 2023 that bears the date 1967 on the base. Unlike the rare Tony Rosenthal Maquette For Marty’s Cube, 1983 a Hand Cut Welded Bronze Cube, the posthumous cube is cast in Brass, and NOT unique. By comparison, Tony Rosenthal Maquette for Marty's Cube, 1983 is extremely intricate and unique; the rare Tony Rosenthal Maquette for Marty's Cube, 1983 offered by Joseph K. Levene Fine Art, Ltd. was created by Tony Rosenthal by hand cutting welded bronze and then polishing and assembling into a stunning rotating cube; truly masterful. View the above to see an image of the Estate of Tony Rosenthal issued Tony Rosenthal Study of Alamo, 2023, Cast Brass Cube, a posthumous limited edition confusingly dated 1967 that is apparently also not numbered although the Estate mentions it is a limited edition.
Named a Public Art legend by Sam Hunter, professor and art critic, monumental Public Art sculptures by Tony Rosenthal are located in many of the largest United States Cities, including Beverly Hills, CA; Detroit, MI; Highland Park, IL; Honolulu, HA; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; New London, CT; New York, NY; Norfolk, VA; Philadelphia, PA; San Diego,CA.

You Know The Art!
When Tony Rosenthal passed away, The New York Times asked secondary market fine art dealer Joseph K. Levene, President, Joseph K. Levene Fine Art, Ltd. for observations for the Tony Rosenthal The New York Times obituary by William Grimes. Joseph K. Levene said: "Tony Rosenthal reminds me of a character actor. You know the face but not the name. With him, you know the art. He never had a retrospective, but that's all right, he has one every day on the streets of New York.''
