About the Item

This is a fantastically 87" tall sculpture by Prince Monyo. Utilizing the lost wax process, this sculpture shines with technique and glamour. The sculpture stands as if on a pedestal. Monyo accentuates different textures and shapes, combining them to create additional intrigue. A sculpted woman can be found among the shapes. This will add glamour and interest to any interior. The piece is signed, "Monyo", on its own base and numbered, 1/7. We have 2 additional Prince Monyo sculptures, please see our listings! From Palm Beach Daily News: "Born in Bucharest, Prince Monyo Mihailescu-Nasturel Herescu is the last in the line of descendants of Romanian Voevods Kings. Prince Monyo grew up in a castle on the outskirts of Bucharest. He studied mechanical engineering at Bucharest University and then earned a Ph.D. in ancient history and religion from the University of Sorbonne, Paris. His family escaped from the communist regime in 1948, leaving to the United States, but Prince Monyo stayed behind and became a political revolutionary. The communists seized his family’s fortune and businesses. During this time he escaped with some friends into the mountains. He was later captured as a political prisoner and held in solitary confinement for 71/2 years. “During that time I fantasized about days spent in my childhood with my family,” he says. “The power of my mind kept me sane throughout that time. I was given an immense appreciation for life and humanity.” He came to the United States as a political refugee and met with his family in Florida in 1960s. “I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would be an artist,” he said. “I began sculpting clay figures that I had envisioned while in prison to help me cope with my thoughts.” He was self taught. "I have nothing to lose but everything to gain,’ so I have always taken every opportunity. He made Palm Beach his permanent home in the 1980s. In 1980, he opened one of the largest bronze foundries in Florida. Prince Monyo’s bronze sculptures are displayed at numerous public facilities and buildings around the world and have been featured in magazines including International Art Guild and Architectural Digest."
