Kangaroo?
That is a strange looking kangaroo. Where did you find it? Chernobyl? 🙂

Yes Leo Amino's sculptures are Awesome
Some have sold at Wright auctions in the past. I also really like Jose deRivera, who did metal sculptures in the 50s and 60s. I have one in front of my picture window if you want to check it out on my website: www.geocities.com/kenshotus/. That Leo Amino sculpture shown is called "Growing" One sold at Wright for $45,000 and another sold for $25,000. He also worked in other materials besides wood. He has a great sensibility.

Apparently, Riki,
you aren't fimilar with the beautiful/awful Witco furniture and furnishings from California. All made from burnt Redwood, it often featured fake fur. Ever saw Elvis' "Jungle" room in Graceland? It's all Witco.
By the way, this is a photo of the piece my friend used to own.

Thank you so much for all the...
Thank you so much for all the info, especially a big thankyou to Ben, WoofWoof and Iclock. I 'd love to learn what I can about this type of art. The info on the time frame and the different sculptors is great.
The presently featured styles are a slightly different from my favorite though: chunky and fluid sculptures, about table size format (more like the pic below).
Any additional info is welcome, even more so if it's about pieces that look a bit like the sculptures in the pictures. Cheers guys !

WoofWoof
I have always liked Amino's work as well, though it strikes me as derivative of Noguchi.

We had this
We had this sculpture recently. It was by an area artist and dated to the late 1960s. I see a fair amount of biomorphic abstraction in small and mid-size sculptures, but don't know of any recognised artists you could search for specifically.

We currently have this one
but it is not as intricate as the examples you show. More of a minimalist stylized head form. I is anonymous/ unsigned, but a vintage piece. I'd guess late 60s/ early 70s. It has a great presence and is quite evocative, but lacks the layered/ constructivist look of the 1st piece you posted.

Check out Barbara Hepworth too, I bet you would love her work as well.

Quirky items
I like to use odd things as sculptures in my house. The first one is a wooden carved and painted hat stand of a lady's head. The giant hand is actually a porcelain #10 glove mold for making rubber gloves. The thing that looks like a giant pincer is a cobbler's vice.

Two more
We have a lot of defunct cotton mills here in the South and there are a number of artists who incorporate the old gears and machinery parts into industrial art. Here are two round mill pieces mounted as sculptures. The last picture is a carved wood sculpture by Suzanna Anna in California.
