About the Item
A large bronze sculpture titled ‘The Three Kings II’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills, stood upon an integral circular base.
As a part of his dancer series, this piece is inspired by the Alvin Alley ballet 'Les Trois Rois', which features a pas de deux in which two dancers dance to the music of Duke Ellington, who is the third King referred to in the title.
While this is a motionless, three-dimensional piece, it demonstrates the talent of the artist; the kings intertwined capturing the essence of movement and grace, conveying not just the physical but the emotions and stories that dance conveys.
The verdigris patinated bronze finish creates a display of decorative lines and shapes adding texture and depth to the piece. An excellent sculptural display piece, intriguing and interesting from all angles.
There is an indistinct foundry stamp to one side. Apparently unsigned.
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.
