"Knees Up", A Patinated Bronze Nude By Barbara Beretich
Located in Palm Desert, CA
This bronze sculpture, "Knees Up", by Barbara Beretich is magnificent. It depicts a woman leaning back on her hands with her knees up. Her facial features are undefined as her head is tilted slightly upwards. The patina is a beautiful deep and rich green/ teal, complimenting the ambiguity of the piece. Perfect sized sculpture for a powder room or beside a bed, this piece will definitely receive much attention.
During her younger years in California, Beretich's family raised multiple animals including hogs, cows, sheep and horses, influencing her artwork. Her work is very versatile including equine, other animals, human figures and abstract work. She graduated from the University of Illinois with a BA in art. The following year Beretich spent time in Europe where she met and became lifelong friends with French artist, Francoise Gilot. Later, she moved to Claremont CA...

Aurelio Teno, a Group of Four Silver Sea Shell and Coral Animal Sculpture, 1950s
By Aurelio Teno
Located in New York, NY
A group of four silver, sea shell and coral
Animal sculptures
1950s.
Dimensions:
Frog – H 5” x W 2.5” x D 5” x base height 2”
Bird – H 6” x W 5” x D 3.5” x base height 2”
Dog – H 4” x W 2.33” x D 3.5” x base height 0.75”
Turtle – H 2.75” x W 3.75” x D: 4.75” x base height 0.75”
Aurelio Teno Teno a/k/a Aurelio Teno (Spanish, 1927 - 2013) was a Spanish sculptor and painter. He stood out for his interpretations of Don Quixote, as the one who imagines him - mounted on the horse named Clavileño - as the first cosmonaut in history.
Between 1936 and 1943, he lived in Córdoba where he trained artistically. First, as an apprentice in the workshop of the sculptor Amadeo Ruiz Olmos; later in a silverware workshop; and since 1939, in the School of Arts and Crafts of Cordoba, where he studied painting and drawing.
In 1950, he moved to Madrid to work as a goldsmith; and later to Paris, where he lived for ten years. There, he extended his studies of fine arts, and is strongly influenced by Giacometti and expressionism in whole. This period in Teno’s artistic life is celebrated by several exhibitions of his paintings in the Salón del Art Libre, Palais des Beaux Arts galleries and others. At the same time, he continued to dedicate a lot of time to the creation of his famous sculptures-jewels.
In 1965, he returned to Madrid although he installed his studio in the Molino del Cubo (Ávila), where he researched new plastic procedures and also exhibits his controversial polemical paintings at the Ateneo de Madrid. Begining that year, he starts a series of international exhibitions in Copenhagen, Paris, New York, Rabat and San Luis (Missouri, USA).
In 1976 he consolidated his international prestige as a monumental sculptor by winning the contest for Don Quixote sculpture...
