Berd Vay’e’s “Bright Idea” is a stunning masterpiece that combines the beauty of vintage light bulbs with disassembled watch movements, showcasing the intricate details of timepieces from decades past. This limited-edition sculpture pays homage to a bygone era while providing a new perspective on repurposing historical components in art.
The founders, Eddie Kurayev and Albert Akbashev, were inspired by their fascination with light and its ability to create a unique ambiance. By transforming vintage light bulbs and watch movements, Berd Vay’e has created a truly unique work of art that captures the attention of art lovers and watch enthusiasts alike.
The timing of “Bright Idea’s” unveiling is particularly relevant as it coincides with the government’s ban on vintage light bulbs, making this piece even more valuable and historically significant. Its selection as the first piece to be sold at the prestigious Sotheby’s auction on June 9th is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and character of the sculpture.
As Berd Vay’e continues to push the boundaries of art and creativity, “Bright Idea” serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be found in repurposing historical components in unexpected ways.
