About the Item

Marking(s); notes: signed; from the edition of 8 plus 3 artist casts; 2005

Additional Information: Provenance: Sotheby's, New York (Private Sale) / Private Collection, Palm Beach, Florida.
Barry Flanagan (1941–2009) was a distinguished Irish-Welsh sculptor renowned for his dynamic bronze sculptures of hares, which became emblematic of his artistic oeuvre. This monumental outdoor sculpture, standing at nearly 8 feet tall, exemplifies Flanagan's fascination with the hare motif, capturing the creature in a playful yet poised stance that conveys both whimsy and elegance.
Flanagan's hares are celebrated for their anthropomorphic qualities, often engaging in human-like activities that evoke a sense of spontaneity and joy. His work has been exhibited internationally, with notable pieces such as "Thinker on a Rock" (1997) displayed at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. The present sculpture, cast in 2005 as part of an edition of 8 plus 3 artist's casts, continues this tradition, showcasing Flanagan's masterful ability to infuse bronze with a sense of movement and life.
Provenance adds to the significance of this piece, having been acquired through a private sale at Sotheby's, New York, and subsequently held in a distinguished private collection in Palm Beach, Florida. This lineage underscores the sculpture's desirability among collectors and its esteemed place within the canon of contemporary art.
Flanagan's work draws comparisons to other notable sculptors who explore animal forms and themes, such as François-Xavier Lalanne and Deborah Butterfield, both known for their innovative approaches to animal imagery in sculpture. This sculpture represents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant work by Flanagan, whose playful yet profound explorations of form and movement continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
