DAN OSTERMILLER
United States, b. 1956
Bears (1999)
Patinated bronze | signed in cast "(c) Dan Ostermiller" | edition 20/20
Item # 412NFW10W
A very fine example of Ostermiller's unique ability to convey personality and charm while capturing nature as it is, the present cast was exhibited in 1999 in an edition of twenty, this being the last of the edition (20/20). The loose surface work is highly original with a frenetic stylus that has been cast with perfect fidelity to the underlying wax - captured in the surface are Ostermiller's fingerprints as he worked and reworked the wax model from which this was cast. This particular model is a very rare find on the open market.
Measurements: 10 1/4" H x 13 5/8" D x 14 3/8" W
Condition Report:
