Sculpture of 'Standing Figure in the Antique Manner' By John W Mills

About the Item

A sculpture of a ’standing figure in the antique manner' by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. Constructed in a patinated resin to resemble stone, this figure is truly an elegant piece for an interior and exterior display, as it strikes a pose to create a sense of emotion: she shows her face turned to one side with her arms raised around her tilted head. Classically inspired, this original ¾ life size maquette was on display in John W. Mills’ garden for many years, now a testament to his work and his ability to convey emotions through his sculptures. 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.
