The Estate Of Manuel Carbonell

The Estate Of Manuel Carbonell

Alevon is proud to announce our exclusive collaboration with the estate of Modern Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell (1918-2011), a celebrated figure known for his monumental works and mastery of modernist forms. In conjunction with the estate and proprietor of Carbonell ‘s oeuvre and worldwide representative for the past 37 years, we are thrilled to offer our clients access to an extensive collection of his bronze sculptures, including medium-sized and monumental pieces, as well as bas-reliefs.

The Carbonell Legacy
Manuel Carbonell, regarded as the last of the great Cuban sculptors of his generation, created works characterized by smooth, flowing lines and abstracted forms, reflecting themes of human strength, beauty, and resilience. His enduring legacy is prominently displayed throughout Miami, particularly in the Brickell area:

  • "The Pillar of History" a 53-foot bronze monument located on the Brickell Avenue Bridge, depicting the history of Miami's first inhabitants, the Tequesta Tribe.
  • "El Centinela Del Rio" a 21-foot bronze and alabaster sculpture at Tequesta Point in Brickell Key.
  • "Lovers" graces the entrance of the Carbonell Condominium on Brickell Key, named in the artist's honor.
  • “Torso” placed in the lobby of the Carbonell Condominium, Brickell Key
  • "Couple in Love" adorns the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Brickell Key.
  • “Birth of Eve” at the entrance of Brickell Key II Condominium on Brickell Key.

The Carbonell Condominium: A Tribute in Architecture
The Carbonell Condominium, developed by the Swire Group on Brickell Key, stands as a testament to the artist's influence on Miami's cultural landscape. This luxurious 40-story tower, completed in 2005, not only bears Carbonell's name but also showcases his sculpture "Lovers" at its entrance and “Torso” adorns the lobby, creating a seamless blend of art and architecture.
