A tabletop-sized solid bronze casting of Michelangelo's "Winged David", on a solid marble base. You can see his giant-killer sling "slung" over his shoulder. Fine detail. This came out of a collection of neoclassical grand tour souvenirs, owned by collector Daniel Glaser of New Orleans, Louisiana (from his estate). Back in the day, wealthy travelers in Europe often purchased sculptures and other mementos of the sites they visited. We have several other pieces from this collection in addition to this, including "Discobolus" and a fine gladiator with lance. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...

A freestanding 3-dimensional work that wonderfully captures both the spirit and draftsmanship of this great American artist. I have included a pic of an identical sculpture in this s...

In addition to the professional photos here, I have added some "home made" ones that I think better show off the exquisite character of the wood the artist used to create this large,...

Artist's Statement: "Around 30 years ago, not long after I had started painting seriously, I was at a one-man exhibition of the great Brice Marden at the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art when I visited the annex to get a cocktail. There was one other guy at the small bar table in an otherwise empty room, waiting for his coffee to be handed to him. He turned and dumped half of it down my front. I immediately recognized him as none other than Brice Marden. He apologized profusely, but I stopped him and said: 'No problem: how often is it that Brice Marden dumps coffee on your pants? They're worth more now.' We both had a good laugh. At any rate - I was certainly channeling his early work when I began work on this series. They are made with oil and beeswax on wood panels...

A collection of five hand-made Japanese Noh drama masks, four of them hand-carved wood, and one (the largest, the one that's black and red on one half and w...

While they look Minimalist at first glance, there are subtle shifts in color and texture that distinguish them from hard-edged abstraction. For me, it has always been about the surface, and the materials. Wax has a character unlike anything else. I use wax both hot (encaustic) and in a cold mixture with turpentine, blended with oil. The complementary underpainting, setting the stage for the wax and oil later...

A gorgeous solid bronze on marble pedestal depicting a demure young woman observing something that appears to be just in front of her. Is she a bit timid, perhaps? A lovely patina ha...

A large, powerfully affecting sculpture of an eagle perched and preparing to take off. I have included a photo of a soda can in one shot to give you an idea of the scale of this scul...

Notable New Orleans artist Sarah House's work centers around what she calls "fractals" - occurrences of order in nature, here appearing as crystal forms juxtaposed with a more amorph...
