Irving Galleries, Palm Beach
Acquired from the above by the present owner, 1994

Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the sculpture presents with a monumental scale and a slightly different hue of the glass depending on the light exposure. The glass displays wonderful depth and a highly detailed surface. The circular base with a minor chip, measuring 2 ½ x 3 x ½ in. The upper section with 4 stable hairline cracks joining one another, with a glass replacement of trapezoidal shape at the cross point, possibly inherent in the making. An extraordinary piece with great presence when viewed first hand.
