Peter Madsen, un artista di Simi Valley, California, crea la scultura in bronzo 17 "Il lungo braccio della legge".5" di altezza x 19" di larghezza. Nessun danno o usura. È datato 1991 ed è 13/24, pesa 30 chili. Il numero 18/24 è stato venduto per 5K su eBay il 3 maggio 2015, quindi il prezzo è ragionevole e realistico. Verrà imballato e spedito con estrema cura.L'articolo è dell'11 luglio 1997 Autore: Patricia Hesselbach Daily News Staff Writer```Good Medicine'' siede sul tavolo dove Peter Madsen disegna a carboncino nella sua Simi Valley casa. La piccola scultura, una delle tante realizzate da Madsen all'apice di una prolifica carriera artistica, gli ricorda la sua forza interiore e gli dà il coraggio di iniziare una nuova vita. Conosciuto per i suoi bronzi estremamente dettagliati raffiguranti l'indiano americano e il cowboy, Madsen aveva goduto di un notevole successo nel suo campo. Artista affermato e riconosciuto dal 1986, ha ricevuto numerosi premi. La Westinghouse Corp., la Borsa di New York, Robert Duvall e Iron Eyes Cody acquistarono il suo lavoro. Il Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage ha messo in mostra permanente una collezione dei suoi bronzi. Madsen non poteva andare da nessuna parte se non tra le fila dei famosi artisti americani. Poi, un giorno, nel maggio 1993, un incidente cambiò completamente la vita che Madsen aveva così meticolosamente costruito. Mentre si dedicava all'altra sua grande passione, partecipare ad una gara di monta western, l'artista venne disarcionato da cavallo. Ha riportato un grave trauma cranico e danni cerebrali. Cadde in un coma profondo di tre mesi. Madsen si svegliò per iniziare un viaggio su un nuovo sentiero, insegnando al suo corpo a muoversi di nuovo. Un modesto movimento della gamba sinistra segnalava l'inizio della guarigione. L'artista ha anche pronunciato le sue prime parole dopo l'incidente. Durante una degenza ospedaliera di nove mesi, seguita da sette mesi in un ambiente domiciliare transitorio, Madsen ha iniziato il suo straordinario processo di rieducazione. "Sto rinascendo", ha detto Madsen, ridendo mentre ricordava i suoi primi tremuli tentativi di scrivere il suo ABC. Lo scultore ammirato per le intricate applicazioni anatomiche umane nelle sue figure in bronzo dovette imparare di nuovo le proprie parti del corpo. "Quando ha iniziato a disegnare figure, ha lasciato via il braccio destro", ha detto sua moglie Vicki. Ha detto che i suoi disegni riflettevano la sua realtà. Doveva riprendere confidenza con il suo lato destro prima di poter disegnare un lato destro. "Il primo segno di opere d'arte è arrivato nel 1996", ha detto Vicki Madsen. Per mesi aveva tentato di convincere l'artista a tornare al lavoro. Ogni volta che lei gli presentava l'argilla, lui rispondeva: "Non posso farlo adesso".Poi, un giorno di settembre, un gruppo di amici artisti fece visita a Madsen. Parlare di scultura suscitava qualcosa dentro di lui. Qualcuno ha regalato a Madsen un piccolo pezzo di argilla. Lo strinse e rispose con un sorriso enorme. C'è una svolta ironica nella storia di Peter Madsen. Prima del suo infortunio, l'artista aveva scolpito la figura di un cowboy sbalzato da cavallo. Quattro anni dopo, Madsen è tornato a lavorare sull'opera tramite lo scultore surrogato, Jean Cherie. “Ha gli occhi e la visione. Jean Cherie sono le sue mani", ha detto Vicki. "Prophesy Fulfilled", come l'artista emergente, è un work in progress. Un tempo dedicato esclusivamente alla sua realistica opera in bronzo, Madsen ora trova espressione creativa in uno stile di scultura in bassorilievo, schizzi a carboncino e grafica computerizzata più libera. I suoi disegni generati dal computer presto abbelliranno i biglietti di auguri. Un caro amico e assistente personale, Patrick Grant, vide il lavoro realizzato da Madsen e suggerì "Saluti da Eagle Vision".'' Le cartoline con le foto dei bronzi di Madsen completeranno la collezione. Raramente si sente una parola scoraggiante da parte di questo artista cowboy che promette di farsi strada nella vita. Di nuovo in sella, sta ricostruendo i muscoli deboli attraverso un programma strutturato di equitazione terapeutica. Quando gli è stato chiesto quale fosse il suo atteggiamento nei confronti della vita dopo l'incidente, Madsen ha risposto con esuberanza: "Provaci!". Quando gli è stato chiesto quale fosse il suo precedente atteggiamento nei confronti della vita, ha risposto ancora una volta: "Provaci".

c.1910 15" Bergman Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Sparrow Hawk Sculpture on Stone Base Signed with Bergman mark as shown. 12" wingspan, 12" beak to tail. slight bend on the tip of each wing with some paint wear. Incredible, rare, imposing figure that will liven up anywhere it is. Very heavy, will be a challenging packing and shipping job that i'm confident I'm capable of. It will take me hours but it will be done right and get there how it leaves here. Franz Bergman was an Austrian entrepreneur best known for his Viennese foundry which produced many patina- and cold-painted bronze sculptures of figures, animals, Orientalist scenes, and mythological creatures. Bergman is often misidentified as a sculptor, but he himself was not the original artist for the works—rather, he hired many anonymous sculptors to execute his ideas. He signed many of the works produced by his foundry with the pseudonym Nam Greb, so as to conceal his name from the authorities and avoid penalties for immorality. Born in 1861 in Vienna, Austria, he initially inherited a bronze factory from his father and later opened his own foundry. Bergman died in 1936 in Vienna, Austria

c1915 22" Bronze Sculpture of Salome with John the Baptist's Head by Philipp<br>Modrow<br><br>A rare work from a rather obscure sculptor, this example captures the famous<br>Biblical scene of Salome with John the Baptist's head. Herod's second wife,<br>Herodias, originally the wife of his brother Philip, had her daughter Salome<br>dance before Herod and his entire court in hopes of manipulating him against<br>John the Baptist. John was outspoken in his reproach of Herod for taking his<br>brother's wife and Herodias wanted him executed for this, though Herod would not<br>comply. However, greatly pleased by her dancing and drunk with his guests, Herod<br>promised to give Salome anything she asked for, up to half of his kingdom.<br>Salome asked to have the head of John the Baptist on a plate, as he was<br>presently held in the king's prisons. Placed in an awkward position in front of<br>his court, he was forced to grant her request despite his own personal<br>objections. The scene is moving in it's exceptional rendering of Salome's<br>careless and selfish nature. She clutches her prize with a certain grotesque<br>pleasure, an unsettling image of one so led astray for the vengeance of her<br>mother to an empty and ugly result. Modrow has sculpted her ingeniously to be<br>equal parts beautiful and repulsive. She stands before a naturalistic rock<br>backdrop. The sculpture is signed on the right and impressed by the foundry on<br>the left. Philipp Modrow (German, 1882-1925) is documented in the E. Benezit<br>Dictionary of Artists (Gründ, Vol. IX, p. 1080) as being the student of Emil<br>Cauer Jr. and that he is noted for his 1923 sculpture "Monument to Spengler" in<br>Davos, where he died in December of 1925.

In all his<br>works, Furlow strives to show his deep admiration and respect for his Choctaw<br>heritage.<br><br>About his subject matter and painting style, Furlow has said, "I knew I wanted<br>to say it with color because that's the emotion of it. I've got to make the<br>viewer feel what I feel . All I'm trying to do is paint them as they are - paint<br>their culture, their dignity and their stature . I didn't want to do portraits<br>of Indians, I wanted to say something about the human condition." He paints two<br>worlds: the Native American and their place in the Anglo World.
