A Lovecraftian sculptor of the 1960s and early 1970s, the Frenchman Henri Etienne-Martin.

Etienne-Martin’s entry in Dictionary of Modern Sculpture, 1960. Note the outdoor “Homage to Lovecraft”, and he also seems to have made smaller variations of this stair/throne-like sculpture.

From a 1965 exhibition catalogue in French…

From recent auction sales of his work…
