ANTOINE PONCET

ANTOINE PONCET

Discover a selection of works by a European master of abstract sculpture, Antoine Poncet. He worked alongside his mentor and colleague Jean Arp, and whether it was bronze or marble, he set a high watermark standard.

A Swiss sculptor, his work was widely collected and exhibited across Europe, the United States and internationally in major museums, public spaces and private collections.

Interesting note: Poncet was Ossip Zadkine’s pupil before becoming Jean Arp’s assistant from 1953 to 1955.

For more than half a century, Antoine Poncet devoted his practice to refining sculpture into its purest expression—creating elegant forms that evoke movement, nature, and the human spirit.

These works offer a glimpse into his enduring exploration of balance, rhythm, and organic abstraction.

Whether experienced in an intimate interior or a monumental outdoor setting, his works invite contemplation through their refined elegance and enduring sense of movement.
