About the Item
A large patinated figural sculpture titled ‘Gymnast’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills.
Mounted on a rectangular wooden column base, this maquette is of an impressive structure and scale while showcasing defined attributes to the male gymnast's figure.
While this is a motionless, three-dimensional piece, it demonstrates the talent of the artist, the gymnast’s posture captured in such a way that creates the impression of movement as he grasps a lions head acting as the top of a vaulting pole.
The perfect piece for decorative display in modern and traditional settings alike.
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.
