A set of fabulous aluminum two sided monumental sculptures by the renown British Sculptor Roy Rasmussen. They were identified for us by a relative of the artist as "Ida II and Maren". They are mounted to bases by posts that can be easily set into the ground where they can be mounted outdoors. As aluminum they will not rust and can withstand the weather. Both are signed and dated 71. They are 77 inches tall as pictured. The actual rectangular pieces are 66.75 inches tall. They are 22.5 inches wide and approximately 8 inches deep. In good condition with minor imperfections and age appropriate wear and tear. From the artist's Website: Born in London, England in 1919 of Anglo Danish parentage, he was the third generation of a family of craftsmen in metal. His grandfather had originally worked with metal in Denmark, but it was an uncle in the United States who had used aluminium to produce artistic sculptural forms attracting press coverage. This was the catalyst which led him to embark on studying the techniques of exploiting that medium. Early working life had exposed him to the crafting of sheet metal and different welding techniques through the car industry at Rolls Royce and then working later in the production of artificial limbs. Initially pursuing art of a representational nature with great success, his first work was completed and exhibited in 1954. A year later he presented two new works, which were then exhibited at the Aluminium Centenary Exhibition in Britain run by the Aluminium Development Association at the Royal Festival Hall and visited by H.R.H Prince Philip. Roy Rasmussen was to earn widespread recognition from this landmark beginning. A chance spell in Egypt as a young man (due to military service during the War) had exposed him to ideas and inspirations which would be nurtured and regenerated some decades later. The mysteries and splendors of Egyptian art were enveloped and symbolized into shapes and emblematic forms, and were to remain a powerful influence in many of his works, as he turned away from purely representational or figurative sculpture. From the early 196os his works were exhibited widely: from many London West End galleries to, internationally, exhibiting at shows such as the British Council at the German Industries Fair and the English Expressionists at the Galerie Creuze in Paris. He had in the late fifties joined the artist Lyall Watson who founded and opened the Woodstock Gallery, off of Bond Street in London, and worked closely with him as a director and artist of the gallery throughout its formative years. In 1967 he left the Woodstock Gallery and moved to the newly opened John Whibley Gallery on Cork Street in Mayfair where he remained as resident artist until it closed in 1977. His association with the Free Painters and Sculptors group, where he had been an early member since the 1950s, was further sealed in 1984 when he became director of their Loggia Gallery with its sculpture garden, in Buckingham Gate, Westminster. He exhibited there throughout the many years following. After his death in 2014 the Free Painters and Sculptors set up the Roy Rasmussen Award to be presented annually, 'in recognition of one of our founding members Roy Rasmussen, a revered sculptor and historian, whose years of dedication have inspired generations of FPS artists'.

"Highland Mary" (also known as Highland Mary or a portrait of Mary Campbell) Carved White Marble Sculpure by Benjamin Edward Spence (British, 1822–1866). A fine full-length, life-size neoclassical carved statue depicts the subject of Robert Burns’s poem Highland Mary (Mary Campbell), shown as a young woman standing in a contemplative pose. The sensual carved figure with a gentle contrapposto stance, weight resting on her left leg, right foot slightly advanced, and her head tilted downward with a solemn, introspective gaze. Her hair is centrally parted and styled in soft classical waves framing the face. She wears a long, fitted floor-length gown with a buttoned bodice and full skirt falling in graceful folds, over which is draped an asymmetrically arranged, heavily fringed plaid shawl (tartan implied through carved texture). Both hands are clasped together at her chest in a reflective gesture, fingers gently interlaced. She wears simple low-heeled slippers. The sculpture stands on a plain circular marble plinth. The work exhibits the refined carving and smooth finish characteristic of Spence’s mid-19th-century neoclassical style, with particular attention to the soft drapery, fringe details, and textural contrast between fabric and skin. Multiple versions of Highland Mary are known (including examples in the Royal Collection, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and Sefton Park Palm House), with minor variations in pose and attributes; the present example corresponds to the clasped-hands composition. Signed: B.E. SPENCE Ft. ROMAE - 1862 Provenance / Literature note: Frequently exhibited and replicated during the Victorian period as one of Spence’s most celebrated works, inspired by the tragic romance between Mary Campbell and the poet Robert Burns. Benjamin Edward Spence (1822–1866) was a 19th century English sculptor, who spent much of his professional life in Italy. He was born in Liverpool in December 1822, the son of William Spence, a sculptor who later in life became a partner in a business house in Liverpool, and gave up the profession. In 1846 he was awarded the Heywood silver medal and a cash prize by the Royal Manchester Institution for a group in clay of the death of the Duke of York at the battle of Agincourt. His father was persuaded by John Gibson to send Edward to Rome. There he entered the studio of Richard James Wyatt, and also received help from Gibson. He died at Livorno (then known as Leghorn) on 21 October 1866. Between 1849 and 1867 Spence contributed to the exhibition of the Royal Academy five times: in 1850 with "Ophelia", in 1856 "Venus and Cupid", in 1861 "Hippolytus", and in 1867 "The Parting of Hector and Andromache". He contributed "Highland Mary" to the Exposition Universelle 1855, and two works, "Finding of Moses" and "Jeanie Deans before Queen Caroline", to the International Exhibition 1862. A number works of his that were not exhibited in England were engraved for the Art Journal. Works: • Highland Mary 1853, Buckingham Palace • Venus and Cupid, Philadelphia Museum of Art • Statue of Lavinia for Mr Holmes of Liverpool (1849) • Statue of Ophelia for Thomas Brassey MP (1850) • Tomb of Richard James Wyatt in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome (1851) • Highland Mary at Osborne House (1854) • Bas relief in a monument to Ann Catherine Jane Smith...
