About the Item
A wonderful bronze abstract in the form of a female nude mounted on a terrazzo base. It is by the noted Mexican artist Jonas Gutierrez Castillo. It is signed Jonas 99 PA near the base. PA stands for Pruebas de Artista or Artist's Proof. The bronze has a beautiful warm brown gold patina. The base is a heavy terrazzo with lots of inclusions. The base has some losses to the edges which are pictured in detail. The bronze has some patina inclusions or spots, pictured as well.
One of the artist's more notable works is a massive bronze title the The Stone Eater on Puerto Vallarta's Malecon.
We've attached a biography of the artist courtesy of Galleria Dante of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico below:
Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco in 1966.
The artist began to sculpt at an early age. In 1980, he helped create the monumental public sculpture "La Estampida", which is located at a busy intersection in his hometown, near the emblematic building of the Hotel Riu.
Jonás Gutiérrez is known in Puerto Vallarta for his monumental 2.4-meter-high bronze and obsidian sculpture "El Sutil Come piedras", which was installed on the Malecón and was inaugurated on October 14, 2006 which represents a magician with a stomach of obsidian stone.
In 1987, Gutiérrez began working in the workshop of Ignacio Fernández del Valle, who became his mentor. In 1988 he made his first bronze piece, which he titled "Pieza Zoomorfa".
In 1989, Jonás ventured into wood carving and developed this technique for two more years, during which he sought to add an organic sense to his later creations.
Returning to the lost wax method, his sculptures seem to be more concerned about the search for balance in the composition and the suffering of the human figure; the female figure who flees or appears predominates.
A later stage would seem to summarize everything: animal, organic element and female figure; all in a compact composition. This stage comes to an end, when Gutiérrez begins to use a mineral element, the stone, within his pieces. His work entitled "El Sutil Eme piedras" appears and the one that deserved the recognition in 1998 of the October Salon, under the title of "Fusion". This stage would have a long development, which only in the preparations for its exhibition in the Televisa art space seems to accommodate a new proposal already announced, with "El Don Cuadrado" and the other characters who prepare to observe, dance and suffer the vision of life or unreality.
Jonás Gutiérrez Castillo has exhibited in the artistic space of the Mexican television network Televisa, where he presented a series of new characters.
Today, his sculptures represent misleaned clowns, pampering, harlequins, magicians, subjects in strange costumes and fire-devourers. All of them with a playful personality.

Bronze "Byte" by noted Artist Jeff Day
By Jeff Day
Located in Palm Springs, CA
An immense and heavy bronze by the noted artist Jeff Day. he is currently in China but we managed to converse with him. He identified the work and the approximate year it was cast and how heard it was to make. He thinks he signed it although we can't find his mark. it is quite impressive and has a beautiful gold flecked patina.
There is a fracture in the center small and hard to spot that occurred in the casting. This is a unique piece. There are some minor losses to the patina near the base and minor nicks and scratches. The base has been repaired in one corner. One other corner is missing the wood trim, pictured. The piece and shows its age with age appropriate wear.

Fred Schumm Bronze Noted NJ Artist Signed, Dated 1989
Located in Palm Springs, CA
A great bronze wonderfully patinated and mounted on a slate base. It is signed Schumacher and dated 1989. We were lucky to acquire a number of this artist's works.
From a 2012 article the following provides some insight into the artist:
Gloucester TWP, Camden County College’s Marlin Gallery will present works by the late Cherry Hill sculptor Frederick Schumm in the show “Retrospective” starting March 21.
Schumm was a native of Colorado Springs, Colo., who served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Driven by an interest in whittling and sculpture, he used G.I. Bill funds to develop his talents with study at the Colorado Institute of Fine Arts.
In the early 1960s, he developed an original method for casting small bronzes at the same time that he was designing and helping to construct a sculptural playground for the Colorado Springs Parks Department.
The playground pieces were featured in "Woman’s Day" magazine and can viewed online at you tube His bronze-casting innovations led to his receipt of a Fulbright Scholarship and two years of study in Florence, Italy.
Upon his return to the United States, Schumm lived in New York...
