John W. Mills (1933-2023) Set of 3 Female Dancer Sculptures

About the Item

A set of three female dancer sculptures by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. Made from resin with a patinated finish, each figure stands upon an integral stepped base and is signed in pencil by the artist. Together, the trio are an elegant set for interior display, each striking a different pose to create a sense of movement: one in contrapposto with arms out to the right, another lifting hair with arms raised, and the other with right arm lifted high. As pictured, the leftmost figure has a handwritten sticker to the base reading ‘WJM/197 88’ and the rightmost figure with sticker reading ‘WJM/196 88’. 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 received 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. Provenance: Hinxworth Place; The Estate of John Mills (1933-2023) Dimensions are for the tallest figure (centre).
