A magnificent sculpture signed and dated: “Pierre Jules Mene 1869″. This is a very famous piece and I’m told that there was an edition of 10 and no two pieces are the same. The hand finishing and detail of this work is mesmerizing. It’s against a mirror so you can see the fully finished back. The detail on the back is the same as the front – marvelous. Solid bronze.

Atmos clock celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the invention of the Atmos clock by Jaeger-LeCoultre – Geneva. It runs on an air pressure, bellows system that captures the difference in atmospheric pressure when it goes up or down. That change in pressure is caught in the bellows and therefore has the power to run the clock. It’s the closest thing to perpetual motion that has ever been built. This clock has three feet that can be used to level it, and there is a bubble glass to show when it is perfectly level. There is a “150″ medallion and a medallion that states the number, which is 311. The clock has been refurbished in 2007 and keeps excellent time. I might adjust it twice a year for a couple of minutes. There is a manual lever to adjust the mechanism – faster or slower. The dome is blown glass crystal and looks majestic, when it covers the clock’s movement. I have an original marketing brochure but no original packing materials. I have the instructions on starting and setting the time etc. Perfect condition.
Myth is one of Rothe’s most outstanding creations. It’s a very rare, Artist’s Proof, mezzotint on heavy artist’s paper. Mezzotint is a very difficult process. The artist has to put the sheet of paper through the press a number of times, each time keeping the registration perfect and one time for each colour variation of that colour. I believe this piece was put through about 16 – 20 times – remarkable. Signed in the margin lower right: “G. H. Rothe”. Numbered: “4/15 A.P.” bottom left. An artist’s proof if more valuable because the artist does all the printing. After the proofs are done, usually the pressmen take over and copy the instructions from the artist. Titled: “Myth” bottom centre. Frame is wood with dark chocolate, smooth, matt finish with a gold metal key line – very distinctive and appropriate for this mezzotint. Double matts set the painting off nicely – off-white and dusty rose with bevelled edges. Excellent condition with some discolouration from age.
“Celebration of Life” is a small version of the life-sized one at the Grand Wailea Hotel on Maui, Hawaii. Bronze, custom patinated sculpture by Kenneth Shutt. Signed and dated: ” 33/40 Shutt 91″.

He invented the white patina on this sculpture and they are produced in very limited editions – this one being number 34 of 40. On a three tier, black marble base with white flecks inherent. Perfect condition.

Paradox of the Trapper. A unique, one-off, original, bronze wall-mount, sculpture by the renowned, Canadian sculptor, Christopher Keene. It portrays a trapper confronted with a life challenge for he and his horse. Extreme realism that is frightening. Much detail including showing the trapper’s glove on the ground. Did he survive? I think so. ArtCast did the lost wax bronze process and Chris did the final detailing and the patina, leaving much of it rough, to create the remote, northern, winter, outdoor atmosphere. No edition was created. COA in hand. Excellent, original condition.
Portrait of a President. A unique, one-off, original bronze sculpture by the renowned, Canadian sculptor, Christopher Keene. This piece was created to draw attention to President Nixon’s dark side. An American Bald Eagle protrudes from Nixon’s jowly face. It shows that the President was strangling himself. It shows his feet going in different directions and when you turn it around you see that his head is filled with snakes. Nixon’s eyes are closed suggesting that the end of his term had arrived. The bronze is supposed to be placed on a mantle with a mirror behind it so you can see into Nixon’s thinking. ArtCast did the lost wax bronze process and Chris did the final patina leaving much of it rough to amplify Nixon’s muddy language and dealings. No edition was created. Excellent, original condition. COA in hand.
The Evolution Factory. A unique, one-off, original bronze sculpture by the renowned, Canadian sculptor, Christopher Keene. This piece was created as his final exam for his Masters of Fine Art degree at the Rhode Island School of Design. It portrays a factory where beasts are creating and building “man”. It’s an assembly line and as you progress through the piece you see that the beasts are filling man’s head with garbage. They are using a crane to lift the final, heavy piece of the human skull. Keene states that this creation came from a dream that he had. ArtCast did the lost wax process and Chris did the assembly and finish work and the final patina leaving much of it rough to create the macabre atmosphere of the factory. No edition was created. Signed and dated front lower right: “Keene ’74″. Excellent, original condition. COA in hand. $9,000. Size: 26″ L x 7″ W x 15″ H. Wt: 33 lb. 15 kg.
