About the Item
"Why Fight When you Can Play?" is a set of playful, interactive, figurative sculptures sold in pairs. Each pair consists of one standing and one crouching figure in cast bronze. Serious “toys”, these miniature bronzes are the perfect activity for a group of adults and children. Artist Noa Bornstein has seen people of all ages entranced with playing with her sculptures. She states, “The ‘players’ must have patience and skill to balance the sculptures—and I’m continually surprised by new ‘poses’ that adults and children invent. Even one pair has multiple balancing possibilities.”
This artwork listing is for four pairs. Dimensions given are for four vertically stacked pairs placed next to each other. Each standing figure is 3" tall and each crouching figure is 2” tall.
Contact us -- or visit our separate listings for 1, 2, or 3 pairs -- to purchase other quantities. $475 -- one pair; $950 -- two pairs; $1300 -- 3 pairs; $1650 -- 4 pairs.
Choice of brown, black, or green patina. You can mix patinas in each pair. This is an unlimited edition—no edition number. To balance, a level and stable surface must be used.
Please watch the video for just a few playtime possibilities!
Brooklyn, New York, artist Noa Bornstein describes herself as “a draw-er”. Many of her sculptures begin as a quick drawing or impression - from memory, from dreams, or from life itself. “Watching a man walking down the street, I take out my little pad and am compelled to capture something of his gait, the rhythm, shape, whatever attracts my attention,” says Bornstein.
Figurative sculptor and painter Noa Bornstein was born in San Rafael, California, and grew up mostly in Los Angeles. She has lived and worked in New York City since 1986. Bornstein holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of California at Santa Cruz. Her sculptures have been shown in many indoor and outdoor venues, including at the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art in Florida, the Rotunda Gallery in Brooklyn, and Grounds for Sculpture, Toad Hall Gallery in New Jersey. Public installations include Lakeland, Florida, sponsored by the Polk Museum of Art, TriBeCa Park in Manhattan, as well as several parks in New Jersey and Baltimore. In 2009, the Walter Randel Gallery in New York City exhibited Bornstein’s sculptures as part of a group show integrated with ancient sculptures from around the world. Her work has been featured in Art in America and in Artnews, among many other publications.

Joie De Vivre, bronze figurative dance sculpture
Located in Greenwich, CT
This joyous in the round bronze can turn on its base, making for dramatic presentation and enjoyment that is interactive. It is based on the idea of the Three Graces which is often an allegorical subject in sculpture. Wein has done a contemporary feeling interpretation of this classic theme. Piece itself measure 12 1/2 inches and sits on a 3 1/4 inch base and is attached to its base at two points and it is a revolving or rather turning base. The two points on which the toes touch and are secured are striking for how little of the bronze touches the base. It is Fourth in an edition of 13. Albert Wein...
