'Head of a Woman' Large Sculpture after Carl Nesjar for Picasso

About the Item

A rare piece to come up for sale. It appears to be a maquette done by Carl Nesjar for Picasso. The photo example shown is of another one from the book "The sculpture of Picasso, Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1967" Picasso hired Carl Nesjar to make some of his sculptures in maquette form. Nesjar made a few maquettes. For example, like the two shown in the photo here with Picasso from the book "Portrait of Picasso, Museum of Modern Art New York, 1971" Unfortunately this one does not have a provenance, only that it was found in Los Angeles. It's made of welded sheet steel showing wear and patina consistent with age. There's no damage or repairs, original fine condition. Presents well. It's a great statement piece for a home or add to a collection of modern art...

  • Small Modern Resin Sculpture Arman
    By Arman Fernandez
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    1928 - 2005 Armand was an artist who used found objects as his medium and encased them in resin form. This rare scale of his work appears to be a token example for an exhibition given out to patrons for a show. I'm sure no two are alike. It's stamped within "Arman Galerie Lawrence 11 Mai 1965 De 5 A 8". Mixed industrial metals encased in resin. Great jewel of an art object for collections of modern art. The size is 1 1/8"h x 1 7/8" x 2"... From the estate of the late Naomi Caryl...
