Govert Heikoop’s "Ghei 3" (1986) is a vibrant painted plywood sculpture measuring 8 x 30 x 13 cm. Dynamic curves and bold orange hues are playfully juxtaposed with soft pink and pastel blue, creating a striking interplay of color and form. Smooth, reflective surfaces enhance the sculpture’s depth, while Heikoop’s signature underneath confirms its authenticity as a unique piece from the artist's family collection. Influenced by the Memphis Design movement, "Ghei 3" embodies postmodern whimsy and precision, echoing the playful aesthetics of Ettore Sottsass and Nathalie Du Pasquier. Its fluid contours contrast with its rigid material, showcasing Heikoop’s mastery of form. This piece is a standout example of 1980s design, offering timeless appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
