About the Item

Berto Lardera (1911-1989) created "the Star of Maryland" for the Eastalco aluminum factory in Frederick in 1971. In Corten steel and Aluminum, Lardera's 27th monumental sculpture is 13 meters high. In 1995, following the change of ownership of the factory, "l'Etoile du Maryland" will be dismantled and destroyed. In 2006, the engineer behind the project and the widow of Berto Lardera decided to produce two 1/6th scale replicas titled "Mémoire d'Etoile". The copy I offer is number 2/2. A complete file including period documents, emails and correspondence as well as a video of the inauguration in 1971 will be provided to the purchaser. Very good condition.
