G. Mille
Swan (Large Free-Form Carved Polished Hardwood Sculpture, 30 in., 38 lbs.)

1986

About the Item

In addition to the professional photos here, I have added some "home made" ones that I think better show off the exquisite character of the wood the artist used to create this large, elegant swan. I am guessing he or she began with this beautiful piece of hardwood and decided the shape lent itself to a swan, perhaps due to a branch extending from the main body of the wood - and went from there. Note that this is a large sculpture and not a bauble for the mantel - it measures 30" and weighs nearly 40 pounds - a big showpiece! I bought it in New Orleans and wouldn't be surprised if the artist were French Cajun (the last name Mille would fit) working with wood from the Louisiana swamps. But I have been unable to find out more about the artist, sadly. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee.

    Artist's Statement: "Around 30 years ago, not long after I had started painting seriously, I was at a one-man exhibition of the great Brice Marden at the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art when I visited the annex to get a cocktail. There was one other guy at the small bar table in an otherwise empty room, waiting for his coffee to be handed to him. He turned and dumped half of it down my front. I immediately recognized him as none other than Brice Marden. He apologized profusely, but I stopped him and said: 'No problem: how often is it that Brice Marden dumps coffee on your pants? They're worth more now.' We both had a good laugh. At any rate - I was certainly channeling his early work when I began work on this series. They are made with oil and beeswax on wood panels...
