About the Item
Two (of four) designed and handmade frames by Dana Nicholson at Altura Studio in New York. Solid Mahogany and rosewood assembled in a heavy torsion box method. Custom cast brass fittings for hanging and for supporting the removable mahogany art backing. Designed for ease of changing artwork. Fittings adapt to various artwork thicknesses. The frames are imposing and impressive but lend an unexpected support to art work and especially photography. The proportions are based on Egyptian temple pylon dimensions and completed with torus moldings and a Cavetto Cornice. The dental molding is an adaptation from later Greek and Roman cornices. The two end dentals are drilled to receive custom horizonal terrets and or silk cord with tassels for an opulent celebratory finish.

Blackened Bronze & Blue/Black Lacquered "Behepoda" Art Piece Cocktail Table
By Dana Nicholson
Located in New York, NY
The table was in part influenced by Armand Albert Rateau and Eileen Gray. Their influence is evident in this complex piece of many art processes. Sketched while listening to Bjork’s song “Bachelorette”, (which has absolutely nothing to do with the show or dating), the table is dark and pays homage to the cephalopods of the deep and the corals near the surface, while octopus’ suckers or coral polyps break the surface. Comprised of custom cast and blacken bronze of great weight supporting an ultra-thin and hollow surface of a moonlit blue...

Garden sculpture, contemporary. Nordic Sphinx, The Rhubarb Sphinx
By Dana Nicholson
Located in New York, NY
Our Sphinx is Persephone, and she started as an old kingdom Egyptian relic.
I then turned her musculature into mechanical appendages like she was an icon or idol off
the set of the 1927 film, “Metropolis”. She was going to be an AI sphinx but I still wanted
to incorporate Rhubarb within her adornment as she is a Nordic or Maritime sphinx.
Big leafed rhubarb didn’t resonate with the mechanized look I had just executed beautifully.
At the very least she is a North American sphinx with feather and wheat motifs. I
included for symbolism and beauty (of course), ancient Egyptian and Greek floral references
befitting a worldly creature. I took liberties and referenced eighteenth and nineteinth "Orientalism". The Sphinx is a mythological creature and not anything that moved across terrains anywhere that most of us have been.
The AI sphinx was too fascist and severe for most gardens. I liked it deeply and may revisit
that avenue once this sphinx’s’ plaster dust has settled. I love the Baroque, so I decided to go Baroque by giving the lions coat some seriously carved fur and curly cues. She looked like any one of the seventeenth century Louis’ characters crossed with a French poodle. That was a bad notion. I then created a sphinx that I like, a sphinx from my soul but seriously influenced by other artists.
In the end she is uniquely elegant and powerfully poised, with distinct features. Compared to
most sphinx throughout history her breasts are too high on her chest but seductive none the less (she is a contemporary sphinx).
Her head is elongated, much like the busts of the Armana period in Egypt, but that’s just her hair and
headdress, not her skull. Her rump and back are sensual. The Rhubarb Sphinx, embodies
a history of sphinxes created by Europeans after the Napoleonic invasion and the extensive survey
of Egypt which ignited a design frenzy of all things ancient Egypt. She is an esoteric
garden folly...
