Bambina in Bronzo Scultura Italiana Intitolata NIVES di Eugenio Pellini 1900
By Eugenio Pellini
Located in Milan, IT
Eugenio Pellini Nives Primi 1900 fusione in bronzo a patina scura firmata dall’autore italiano lombardo E. Pellini (1864-1934) sul lato sinistro della base rettangolare; sul bordo frontale sempre in stampatello troviamo inciso il titolo, Nives, nome della figlia primogenita. In ottimo stato di conservazione, la scultura risale all’inizio Novecento e proviene da una collezione privata milanese. Appoggiata su di una base quadrata con un lieve incavo portaggetti nella parte anteriore, come fosse una scultura fermacarte, la bimba vestita con un camice ed una cuffia è ritratta intenta ad osservare un oggetto morbido, forse una bambola, che regge tra le mani.
Per l'esportazione dall'Italia di un oggetto d'arte che risale a più di 50 anni di età, va richiesta al Ministero dei Beni Culturali una licenza di esportazione chiamata BELLE ARTI. il rilascio di tale licenza governativa richiede un paio di settimane circa, da aggiungere ai tempi di evasione dell'ordine.
Eugenio Pellini nasce il 17 novembre 1864 a Marchirolo, a quei tempi in provincia di Como (oggi Varese) da Andrea e Carolina Pellini.Nel 1878 si trasferisce a Milano presso il fratello Oreste e inizia l’apprendistato nella bottega del marmista Biganzoli. Nel 1888 comincia a frequentare l’Accademia di Brera e realizza le prime opere significative, in particolare “Lo spazzacamino”. Il 10 novembre 1891 vince il Premio Triennale Oggioni, che prevede la specializzazione presso l’Accademia di Roma. Eugenio inizia così un lungo viaggio d’arte attraverso l’Italia, in un percorso che lo porterà a Firenze, Roma e in Sicilia. Successivamente, a Parigi incontra la scultura di Medardo Rosso e di Rodin, autori che risulteranno fondamentali per l’evolversi del suo stile. Torna a Milano nel 1893 e realizza alcune sculture monumentali come “L’angelo del dolore”per la tomba Macario e il “Cristo nel Getsemani”per la tomba Lardera. La consacrazione artistica si completa nel 1897 con la vittoria al Premio Tantardini, in cui propone l’opera “Madre”; con tale gruppo scultoreo viene chiamato a rappresentare la scultura lombarda all’Esposizione Universale di Parigi nel 1900, dove riceve altri premi. A causa delle agitazioni che interessavano Milano, lo scultore si rifugia a Varese. Ai primi anni del ‘900 ritorna Milano e ottiene l’incarico per l’insegnamento alla Scuola Superiore degli Artefici del Castello Sforzesco, attività che mantiene fino al 1929. Nel 1903, l’incontro con la futura moglie, Dina Magnani, modella all’Accademia di Brera, da cui avrà tre figli: Nives, Eros (futuro scultore) e Silvana. Partecipa a tutte le Biennali di Venezia, a partire dal 1905; è presente alla Secessione Romana, alla Triennale di Brera, a numerose mostre all’estero. Nel frattempo, la grave...

Erratic L with 23ct Red Gold, amorphic optical glass sculpture by Anthony Scala
Located in London, GB
'Erratic L with 23ct Red Gold' is a handblown and cut glass sculpture created by the British artist, Anthony Scala.
The geological term 'erratic' refers to a stone or boulder that differs to its surrounding rock, that is believed to have been displaced and deposited by glacier movement. Differing from his Auri collection, Scala's aim was to produce a series of sculptures that are freer, amorphous and suggestive of movement. Striking in the singular, these really capture this concept en masse.
With a career in glass now spanning over 20 years, Scala creates art works that can only be described as acts of precision. As equally beautiful as they are meticulously created and despite being a hugely skilled glass blower, it is with cold working that Scala excels.
Initially qualified as an architectural model maker, it was during this time that Scala learnt many disciplines that would be equally relevant to and ultimately inform his practice today. His passion for glass was discovered however during an apprenticeship with Peter Layton at his studio at London Glassblowing. The beginning of a long standing association for him with this acclaimed studio.
In 2005 at the age of 27, Scala won the prestigious 'Glass Sellers Award' (other recipients have included Alison Kinnard, Colin Reid, Richard Jackson...

Michel Poletti – Alain Richarme

Description
Antoine Louis Barye
“The Michelangelo of the Menagerie”
These are the words of Théophile Gautier in praise of Barye’s genius. Throughout his life Barye endeavoured to capture the fundamental nature of the animal kingdom in all its diversity, wild or tame, exotic or familiar, cruel or gentle, bringing to life the roaring, trembling, living beasts.
The son of a goldsmith, apprenticed to a steel engraver at a young age, Barye found himself making moulds for ornaments, acquiring knowledge that he would later build on to produce his exquisitely chased bronzes. When he was called up at seventeen, he joined the army’s topographic brigade where he used clay to model raised relief maps...

Antique, New and Vintage Sculptures
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
