John W. Mills (1933-2023) Large 'Dancers - Arms Raised’ Sculpture
About the Item
A large patinated resin sculpture titled ‘Dancers - arms raised’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W Mills.
In an impressive scale and eye catching patinated gold lustre finish, this life-size figurative sculpture depicts male and female dancers embracing one another with their arms raised as they stand on an integral circular base; a striking, intimate and affectionate pose, displayed in a way that evokes a sense of deep connection.
If you look closely, a beautiful ring can be seen to the ladies finger, thought to be a metaphor of their love.
Once displayed in Mills' garden, this impressive sculpture would make the perfect focal point in contemporary and traditional settings alike. You can just imagine it standing amongst greenery in a large garden or under a patio canopy.
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.

Robert Michiels (1933), iron sculpture
An iron sculpture in the shape of an animal head raised on a round base, made by Robert Michiels, Belgium, signed. In 1966 Robert received the Jeune Sculpture Belgium prize, the following year the Hainaut Prize and in 1969 first prizes at the Paris Biennale and the Antwerp Biennale Middelheim. Robert Michiels works with industrial components and materials. He uses them to build human characters, animals or strange insects, often with a touch of surrealism and humour. Because the material comes from our society, the works are reminiscent of New Realism and his sculptures are often described with the term existentialism. Because he often works with metal, Robert often uses a grinding wheel and welding machine...
