Signed Limited Edition Arman Waiting To Exhale Cigar Resin Sculpture

Excellent

A signed limited edition sculpture made out of actual cigars suspended in epoxy resin by Arman, French (1929 - 2005) entitled "Waiting to Exhale." This is an exceptional piece that represents Arman's work in common objects becoming art which became known as "allures d'object" (object impressions).

The French Armand Pierre Fernandez, born in 1928, is one of the most important international object artists and a co-founder and member of the Nouveau Réalisme. He studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Nice from 1946 to 1949 and then continued his studies for two years at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. An acquaintance with Yves Klein led to the idea of organizing joint happenings and events, which the two artists realized in 1953. Armand's neo-Dadaist 'Cachets' (stamp prints) of 1955, and later the 'Allures' (prints made with objects dipped into paint) and the 'Coupés' (cut-up objects) followed by the 'Colères' (objects which were smashed and then mounted) were still influenced by Kurt Schwitters. When the last letter of his name was accidentally forgotten on a catalogue cover in 1958, he decided to keep this spelling. The artist discovered his famous 'Poubelles', Plexiglas cases with rubbish cast in resin, at the beginning of the 1960s. From the 'Poubelles' Arman developed the so-called 'Accumulations', a number of the same objects assembled in show cases.

Together with Klein, Tinguely, Raysse and César, Arman is one of the most important artists of the Nouveau Réalisme. Since the 1950s he has been honored with numerous international exhibitions and has presented works twice at the documenta 3 and 6 in Kassel.

Signed Bruno Luna Limited Edition Catcher Bronze Sculpture

Excellent

This is a truly fun sculpture by the Mexican artist Bruno Luna. Luna's sculpture work features plump characters in everyday work and actions. This sculpture, which is entitled "The Catcher," is of a baseball player created in bronze around 1990. The base of the sculpture and inscribed by the artist.

Bruno Luna was born in Mexico City on July 9, 1963. Interested in art since his childhood, he completed a painting workshop with Professor Robin Bond, and then proceeded to the Anahuac University of Mexico City to study Architecture and Graphic Design. Over the years, his work evolved into a very distinct style, in which voluptuousness is converted into aesthetics. The influences of Mexican tradition, combined with almost cubist, Picasso-like treatment of the human form and the the sculptors bold interpretation of the medium, manage to transform the ridiculous into the sublime. Incredibly real, Bruno Luna's sculptures carry an undeniable air of happiness and vitality. However, this sculptor's most incredible achievement is undeniably, the way in which motion is captured in each of his bronze figures. Although frozen in time, each individual piece creates an illusion of continuous movement.

This sculpture is really charming and showcases the fun and contemporary style of Bruno Luna.

Pablo Picasso Limited Edition Jacqueline's Profile Ceramic Wall Plaque

Excellent

A piece of earthenware clay with glaze, black patinated ground, by Pablo Picasso. The work is entitled "Jacqueline's Profile" and is a portrait of one of Picasso's most well-known loves, Jacqueline. It is from an edition of 500 and was produced in 1956.

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain. The son of an academic painter, José Ruiz Blanco, he began to draw at an early age. In 1895, the family moved to Barcelona, and Picasso studied there at the La Lonja Academy of Fine Arts. His visit to Horta de Ebro from 1898 to 1899 and his association with the group at the café Els Quatre Gats were crucial to his early artistic development. In 1900, Picasso’s first exhibition took place in Barcelona and that Fall he went to Paris for the first of several stays during the early years of the century. Picasso settled in Paris in April 1904, and soon his circle of friends included Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Gertrude and Leo Stein and two dealers, Ambroise Vollard and Berthe Weill.

By 1936, the Spanish Civil War had profoundly affected Picasso, the expression of which culminated in his painting Guernica (1937, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid). Picasso’s association with the Communist Party began in 1944. From the late 1940s, he lived in the South of France. Among the enormous number of Picasso exhibitions that were held during his lifetime, those at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1939 and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, in 1955 were most significant. In 1961, the artist married Jacqueline Roque and they moved to Mougins. There Picasso continued his prolific work in painting, drawing, prints, ceramics, and sculpture until his death April 8, 1973.

Signed Alexander Archipenko After Limited Edition Geometric Statuette Bronze Sculpture

Excellent

A modern after sculpture in the style of Alexander Archipenko. The original of this sculpture was created in 1914. This sculpture, which is entitled "Geometric Statuette," is cast with bronze and measures 27 inches in height.

An energetic teacher and pioneering modernist sculptor of abstract human forms, Alexander Archipenko created one of the first multi-media sculptures, composing it of wood, glass, and wire. He experimented continuously with the effects of negative and positive space. He began his career with a Cubist style and then turned to simplified, abstract shapes with hollowed out parts of the bodies, especially where one might expect curves. In 1921, he moved to Berlin where he opened another art school and in 1923 immigrated to the United States and founded an art school in New York City as well as other locations including Chicago, Los Angeles, and Woodstock.

He became an American citizen, living out the remainder of his life in New York, but he taught short courses in numerous schools around the country including the Universities of Kansas City, Delaware, Washington, and Oregon. Most of Archipenko's work in German museums was confiscated by the Nazis in their purge of "degenerate art." In 1947, he produced the first of his sculptures that are illuminated from within. He accompanied an exhibition of his work throughout Germany in 1955--56, and at this time began his book Archipenko: Fifty Creative Years 1908--1958, published in 1960. Archipenko died on February 25, 1964, in New York.
