Blue Lady Ema with Handbag Eva Fritz-Lindner, 1970
Located in South Burlington, VT
Blue lady with her handbag- mastertwork from Eva Fritz-Lindner. A serene tall handmade and hand painted sculpture of a lady carrying her handbag named EMA - a friend of the artist- e handcrafted and hand painted in beautiful blue colors. On bottom atelier mark i 3 D and with tree (black brush mark). Ema was the late Eva Fritz-Lindner's (1933-2017) good friend. Designer/maker: Eva Fritz-Lindner with stamp i3D, circa 1960-1970. Glaze: Light and dark blue matte colors are bright and vivid and the hand painting only adds to the charm; light original glaze crazing appropriate for age. Additional comments: Most of her larger sculptures were likely produced in less than 100 copies based upon research and all were hand painted individually by this artist ensuring each work of art was indeed unique. Dimensions: 12.5 inches high. Handmade / handarbeit and hand glazed, few survive. Provenance: Old German collection. About the artist: The bold folk art sculptress and ceramist Eva Fritz-Lindner (1933-2017) studied at the Werkkunstschule Wiesbaden and Darmstadt and was a master student in the sculptor class by Erich Kuhn. From 1955 she worked as a master designer at the Staatliche Majolika-Manufaktur Karlsruhe where she created and designed several hundred highly regarded ceramic folk art animal sculptures and unique wall and garden works of art inspired by nature and possibly the local zoo at Karlsruhe. Owls and family concepts were a particular specialty. During this time she created designs for building and garden ceramics, vessels and small sculptures. Since 1964, the sculptress worked as a freelance artist in her own studio in Karlsruhe-Durlach. The artist designed important works in the field of building ceramics, including wall designs in mosaic, in Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Göppingen. Of particular note, she created enormous scale owl sculptures for the palace gardens in Karlsruhe in 1967 (see photo). In 1962, Eva Fritz-Lindner was awarded the silver medal at the Prague International Ceramic Exhibition. The artists' ceramics are owned and located in the Hetjens-Museum Düsseldorf, in the Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art...

Dancing Sculpture in Resin in the Style of Umberto Boccioni
Located in Pasadena, CA
Sculpture is at its most essential as a physical, tactile medium, and needs to be touched to be fully experienced. Creating a handmade resin sculpture is an intricate process that requires the mastery of various skills and techniques. This dancing sculpture, in gun metal patina finish resin, stands on its wooden base, featuring intricate details, height, singular twists, interstices, and curves, culminating in an energetic union that transforms the static and individual into a dynamic couple. As you let your hands wander, with closed eyes, you can sense fluidity in their movements, brought to life by soft, rounded lines. Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange. By taking this sculpture home...

Large wooden Buddha sculpture probably Laos, 19th-20th century
Located in Milano, IT
In the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history. This remarkable Buddha, a harmonious blend of two distinct eras, is a testament to the enduring spirit of artistry. Its features evoke echoes of a bygone era, the Pagan period, a time when devotion was expressed through the chisel and the keen eye of a master sculptor. The small, delicate mouth seems to whisper ancient wisdom, while the wide forehead exudes an aura of profound contemplation. The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style. Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit...
