About the Item

In front of Robert Lee Morris's Beverly Hills store in 1993 stood this unique life-size brass sculpture of a nude woman with a bob cut, dressed only with luxurious jewelry. The sculpture named "Sharon" reflects Morris's artistic style that draws inspiration from nature. His expertise in gold, silver, and bronze is apparent in the rich necklace, fine earrings, and elegant bracelet that the sculpture wears, adding a touch of sensuality and provocation to the piece. Despite the voluptuous curves of the sculpture, there is also a playful vibe to the artwork. Robert Lee Morris is a world-renowned jewelry designer and sculptor who has collaborated with fashion designers such as Geoffrey Beene, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein. He attributes much of his inspiration to forms he admires in nature, which is evident in the beautiful and intricate details of the sculpture. Morris has traveled extensively with his family, having lived in countries such as Japan, Brazil, and Germany. By the time he was 31, Morris had become one of the most influential jewelry designers in North America. His career took off after his designs were featured on the cover of Vogue in 1976, and the magazine continued to feature his work in 49 consecutive issues over seven years. He won several awards, including the Coty Award in 1981 and the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2007. In addition to his work in the fashion industry, Morris has also designed a special edition lipstick and compact for Elizabeth Arden and developed a jewelry collection for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's clothing line, Elizabeth & James. He has a presence on QVC television, where he sells RLM Studio, designed exclusively for QVC, and in 2017, he collaborated with MAC Cosmetics on a limited collection of products.
