Vasa Mihich Lucite Sphere

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.

A nice group of three triangle shaped and faceted Lucite sculptures done and signed Bijan Bahar in the 1970s. The artist confirmed the timeframe himself. They are each signed and have been buffed out a bit by the artist himself. They still retain some surface scratches and imperfections with some edge roughness as the artist wanted them to retain some semblance of their true age. The tallest dimensions are given below, but the middles one is approx 15" tall, 6.5" W and 1.75" deep. The smallest is 13" tall, 6" wide and 1.5" deep.

A beautiful colorful sculpture by the noted artist Bijan Bahar. Bijan created this incredible sculpture by first creating a lucite box and then filling it with epoxy resin. before the resin hardened he filled it with found objects of color. after it dried he cut the sculpture artfully into two pieces. it was created in the mid 1990's and is signed and numbered 1/1. It is in good age appropriate condition with some crazing to the seams where the glue has crazed. There are some surface scratches and minor nicks as well. Not the bottom is sanded to a Frost finish by the artist. A bio af the artist follows: Museum Shows / Collections Some of Commissions / Collections Irvine Foundation, Los Angeles, CA Mr. R.
