Maxine Kim Stussy 1
Walking Man

1979

About the Item

Maxine Kim Stussy, a prolific sculptor and painter from the late 1940’s to present. Maxine led an incredibly artistic life traveling the world with her husband at the time, artist Jan Stussy, who headed the art department at UCLA for several decades. Both artists were close associates of Stanton MacDonald Wright, known as one of the greatest American modernist artists, also known as the co creator of the synchronistic movement in the teens with Marcel Duchamp. Maxine was unrestricted by any singular medium; her sculptures took form in wood assemblage, concrete, bronze and unique nail assemblage. Large size seemed natural to her, and she often created figurative sculpture over 7 feet high. The gallery has represented the original sculpture of Maxine Kim Stussy for many years, and this is the first time we have presented any of her original works on 1st Dibs. “Walking Man” is a unique cast bronze sculpture, cast in a single edition of “1”, it is life sized at a height of 75 inches tall. A beautiful patina encompasses the entire work, a patina only attained from years of outside exhibition, this work, within the artist’s own sculpture garden. It was conceived and cast in the late 1970’s. This is an opportunity to own a true work of original California Modernism, a certificate of authenticity and provenance accompanies the sale.
