About the Item

A wonderful whimsical work of art we have had for a number of years. We acquired a number of the artist’s works not long after the artist’s death in 2016. This work is not signed. It is typical of his miniatures. We believe it is a depiction of the Leda and the Swan Myth. It is housed in a fitted lucite shadow box. Please look at the detail it is wonderful. The lucite shadow box and base has some surface scratches and the seams have some craquelure. Please see the detailed photos.

Bijan Bahar Lucite Sculpture
By Bijan Bahar
Located in Palm Springs, CA
A massive 450 pound Lucite sculpture by the noted artist Bijan Bahar. This piece is enormous and quite impressive. It looks great with the led light changing colors which will accompany the piece. It features an etched signature. This piece was hand-craved out by the artist and when viewed at the proper angle the hollowed out circle looks like multiple circles. Quite a stunning effect. it sits on a ring of Lucite and has an acrylic base plate. The sculpture is 22.75 inches tall but with the ring, which allows it to be rotated quite easily and base is 25.5 inches tall. This sculpture has a bit of cloudiness to it and some minor scuffs and marks. A truly monumental work by a talented artist.
