Winged David (Bronze), ex. Daniel Glaser Estate (New Orleans)
By Michelangelo
Located in New Orleans, LA
A tabletop-sized solid bronze casting of Michelangelo's "Winged David", on a solid marble base. You can see his giant-killer sling "slung" over his shoulder. Fine detail. This came out of a collection of neoclassical grand tour souvenirs, owned by collector Daniel Glaser of New Orleans, Louisiana (from his estate). Back in the day, wealthy travelers in Europe often purchased sculptures and other mementos of the sites they visited. We have several other pieces from this collection in addition to this, including "Discobolus" and a fine gladiator with lance. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...

Arabesque on Right Side, Right Hand Close to Earth, Left Arm Outside
By Edgar Degas
Located in New Orleans, LA
One of a series of sculpted dancers created by the incomparable Edgar Degas, this exceptional bronze exudes all of the expressivity one expects from this 20th-century great. Degas captures the essence of his model in the graceful work, as she strikes a particularly difficult pose of the arabesque. The dancer's features have been manipulated and simplified, executed in a manner that seems almost as if one of Degas' Impressionist canvases has come to life.
Degas was obsessed with capturing the dancer in motion throughout his career. He rendered their grace and movement in oil, pastel, pencil, chalk and wax - in fact, of the seventy-four wax sculptures created by Degas during his lifetime, forty of them depicted dancers. Seven of these belong to his series that capture the various forms of the arabesque, and the present work is included among them.
It details one of the most difficult and animated poses of the ballet. Degas’ dancer is precariously posed in a study of balance and motion, one leg gracefully thrust into the air as she tilts her body down towards the earth and extends her arm forward. The sense of her movement is perfectly captured in the extraordinary work, as well as the fluid lines of her body.
The bronze is a sought-after rarity in terms of Degas’ sculptures. Not only are his dancers the most desirable of his work, but this bronze is also distinguished by the fact that it is a Valsuani bronze, meaning it faithfully records Degas’ wax version’s pose as it appeared at the time of its creation. Most Degas' bronzes that are found on the market were cast by Hébrard – these serialized bronzes are surmoulages, or “aftercasts,” that were cast from the modèle bronzes currently in the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena). Because these bronzes are second generation, they are smaller and far less detailed that the current bronze.
This example, however, was cast by Valsuani from a plaster that was taken directly from Degas’ waxes, according to scholarship by the art historian Dr. Gregory Hedberg. These plasters were created by Degas’ sculptor friend Albert Bartholomé shortly after Degas completed his wax figurines. Thus, they record the earliest versions of Degas’ wax sculptures, before they were damaged by time or handling, and before Degas himself altered the works. The Hébrard bronzes...

Created by the hailed French sculptor Antonin Mercié, David vainqueur de Goliath stands among the artist's crowning achievements in sculpture. An exceptional rarity capturing a timeless biblical tale, the larger-than-life sculpture is one of only three large-scale bronzes of Mercié's David ever produced; one greets visitors as they enter the famed Musée d'Orsay in Paris, while the other stands proudly in front of the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse.
When the artist Antonin Mercié showcased his grand plaster depicting David and Goliath at the 1872 Paris Salon, it overjoyed both the critics and the visitors and won First Prize. Impressed with the superb model, the French state commissioned two bronzes from his plaster. Because of the purchase by the French state, all further casts were prohibited, with the singular exception being a bronze the artist...

"Woman Combing her Hair" - Mid-Century Modern Nude Sculpture
Located in New Orleans, LA
This gorgeous marble sculpture falls in that magic area between abstraction and representation. It loosely depicts a woman combing her hair, but really is about the beautiful curves and lines. Stunning veined alabaster. A substantial sculpture, weighing in at 50 pounds. I've included a shot showing the striations the artist carved into the woman's hair. Comes mounted on a wooden base. Here are some biographical details about the artist gleaned from AskArt, very impressive to know his work was shown at the Met, arguably America's premier art museum, in 1951, and to be called "preeminent among American sculptors" by a critic at a major paper is also notable!
Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.

Fourth Position Front, on the Left Leg
By Edgar Degas
Located in New Orleans, LA
Signed, numbered, dated, and stamped with foundry mark “Degas / 6G / 1998 / CIRE C.VALSUANI PERDUE”
Bronze
This extraordinary bronze sculpture of a dancer in motion was conceived by the great Impressionist Edgar Degas. Entitled Fourth Position Front, on the Left Leg, the bronze exhibits an exceptional level of balance and poise. Her graceful carriage and seemingly effortless control over her body is enhanced by the expressivity of her execution - the most minute details and textures of Degas' original wax are beautifully translated in the superb bronze cast.
Degas pursued the art of sculpture during the latter years of his career, crafting in wax all of his favorite subjects, from horses to women to dancers of the ballet. It was his dancers that most intrigued him in sculptural form, and of the seventy-four wax sculptures he is known to have created, over half of them depicted dancers. These creations emerged as a stunning three-dimensional representation of his highly expressive late painting style, and the present figure is no exception. Caught mid-movement in a common ballet pose, she appears arrested in time, a picture of grace and elegant movement captured in bronze.
The work is a sought-after rarity in terms of Degas’ sculptures. Not only are his dancers the most desirable of his work, but this bronze is also distinguished by the fact that it is a Valsuani bronze, meaning it faithfully records Degas’ wax version’s pose as it appeared at the time of its creation. Most Degas' bronzes that are found on the market were cast by Hébrard – these serialized bronzes are surmoulages, or “aftercasts,” that were cast from the modèle bronzes currently in the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena).
