Male and Female Nude Sculptures by Waylande Gregory

About the Item

Rare and singular examples of Waylande Gregory's creative output, this pair of sculptures was formed from heavy sheets of lead, producing a lustrous surface reminiscent of pewter or old silver. Prodigious and indefatigable, Gregory produced a wide range of sculptures and wares in ceramic beginning in his college days, through his years working with Lorado Taft and later when he created large multi-figure pieces for WPA projects, institutions and public parks. Gregory is best known for his works in ceramic, but later he experimented with glass, and these metal sculptures date from the last years of his career in the 1960s.
