About the Item

Dimensions- H: 45in W: 12in D: 8 1/2in !!!CHAIRS NOT INCLUDED!!! This MCM abstract pair of Ventriloquists Titled "One Eyed Twin Dummies" By Pat Keck are absolutely phenomenal and were made in 1984! If you look at the photos provided you will see Pat Keck's Signature on the back of the Dummies neck as well as a metal lever used to move the mouths of the marionettes. The pair are made of the highest quality and have real glass eyes! Pat Keck is a sculptor that predominately works with wood and also makes prints! Keck went to the Rhode Island School of Design and earned her BFA in 1978. From 2012-2015 she created marionettes and sets for the film "Night and Day" by Peter Anthony! Pat Kecks work is truly incredible and is some of the most unique work i've ever seen! The rarity of her items do not go unnoticed as well! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own something exceptional and truly intriguing! The Marionettes are equipped with joints and have moving function in their hands, elbows, knees, mouth, wrists, and fingers! These are personally one of my favorite items we have for sale! The pair is in good vintage condition with some light surface scratching but otherwise good condition! No significant imperfections to note! (Pat Keck has some of her works on display and can be seen at Pucker Gallery in Boston, MA) I have documentation of the marionettes as well!

MCM Cut Steel Rotating Abstract Sculpture by James Hubbell
By James Hubbell

The piece is in good condition with a vintage patina and measures 13.5"W x 6.25"D x 15.75"H. It can rotate a full 360 degrees. The piece is not signed; there was authentication paperwork that cannot be found. It was purchased in San Diego, CA (the artists hometown) in the early 1970s. #2967 James "Jim" Hubbell (born 1931 in Mineola, New York is a visual artist, architect, sculptor, stained-glass designer and founder of the Ilan-Lael Foundation.

A reverence for nature remains the basis of James Hubbell’s singular career, one that seamlessly integrates art, craft and architecture.

During the 1960s and 70s Hubbell’s work was included in the prestigious series of California Design exhibitions at the Pasadena Art Museum and the Arts of Southern California series at the Long Beach Museum of Art, as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York. His forged iron work was featured in Craft Horizons magazine...
