Loet Vanderveen Furniture

Dutch, b. 1921

Loet Van Der Veen was a Dutch artist and sculptor, born in 1921, in Rotterdam, Netherlands, very close to a Victorian-era zoo, which he visited every day, until it was destroyed during World War II. He escaped from occupied Netherlands and served in the R.A.F., during the war. During the first 11 years following the war, he worked as a fashion designer in Zurich, London and New York. He studied Chinese glaze techniques for three years, with Fong Chow, then the curator of the Far Eastern Department of the Metropolitan Museum, in New York. Loet left New York and built a mountain-top house and studio, 1,600 feet above the Pacific Ocean, along California’s remote Big Sur coastline. Living in a remote area, where there was an abundance of wildlife, coupled with his love for animals, led him to create ceramic animal forms. Striving for more sophisticated and graceful images, he ventured into designing animals in bronze, enhanced by a rich palette of subtle patinas, offering uniquely stylized interpretations that have been appreciated by distinguished worldwide collectors. His works are in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world.

Nice vintage condition with only minor signs of wear. Born in Rotterdam, Holland Loet Vanderveen's childhood home was close to the zoo. It was during this period in life that he developed his love for animals. At night he would listen to the sound of the animals in the zoo, and fantasize about African safaris... fantasies which were eventually realized. During the WWII bombardment of Rotterdam the animals were destroyed as well as his home. These events led Vanderveen to a new phase in his life. He escaped occupied Holland for England, and was decorated for valor by Queen Wilhelmia. He served in the R.A.F. during the war. After WWII, Vanderveen lived in Zurich, London and New York working as a fashion designer. Creatively unsatisfied with his profession he began private ceramic studies with the head of the Far Eastern department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Fong Chao).

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A powerful bronze sculpture of a male torso by renowned Mexican modernist sculptor Victor Salmones (1937–1989). This finely executed Artist Proof (A/P) exemplifies Salmones’ celebrated exploration of the human form, combining classical sculptural traditions with the expressive language of modernism. The sculpture presents a muscular male torso rendered with dynamic modeling and richly textured surfaces, capturing both strength and sensuality. The dark patinated bronze emphasizes the sculptor’s expressive treatment of anatomy, with subtle variations in tone highlighting the movement and vitality of the figure. Salmones was internationally recognized for his monumental public sculptures and refined studio works, many of which reinterpret classical figurative themes through a modernist lens. His work is represented in important public collections and architectural settings throughout Mexico and internationally. Mounted on a solid travertine stone base, the sculpture achieves a balanced dialogue between the warmth of natural stone and the depth of the bronze patina, creating a sophisticated presentation suitable for modern interiors, curated collections, or architectural settings. Signed by the artist and marked Artist Proof (A/P), this work represents a compelling example of 20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture...
