John W. Mills (1933-2023) Bronzed Sculpture of ‘Rolling Horse'
About the Item
A sculpture titled the ‘Rolling Horse’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills, signed twice to the tail.
Representing Mill's equestrian art collection, this bronzed resin maquette depicts a male horse rolling on its back in a freestanding form.
This collection has reference to the Tang dynasty, or ‘golden age’, when horses were the symbol of power and status in ancient China; they served as a reward for successful military expeditions and the foundation of imperial stability.
Depictions of Tang dynasty horses can be found in the British Museum, from which John W. Mills found inspiration for his own graceful four legged sculptures.
Price includes Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) at 4%.
John W. Mills (1933-2023)
John Mills was a highly celebrated English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes.
Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to receive several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions.
Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London.
Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. This sculpture formed part of this curated collection, from which we selected several pieces, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
