"SeaWave Maquette" cast bronze sculpture
By Gerard Tsutakawa
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Gerard Tsutakawa is best known for his numerous monumental corporate and public commissions throughout the Northwest US and Japan. One of his more recent iconic forms is found in his 'SeaWave' series, with the full-scale sculpture installed at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena in 2021. Here we have made available a cast bronze edition of the maquette of the already acclaimed public art sculpture. An edition of 20, this maquette is a rare opportunity to own a cast sculpture by the cherished Seattle sculptor!
Finished in the artist's signature dark blue patina with brown and gold tinges and signed and numbered along the bottom edge.
Gerard Tsutakawa’s designs are a confluence of the cultures and traditions of the Pacific Rim. Tsutakawa grew up with a rich heritage of Japanese design creativity and sensibility combined with a lifetime spent in the Pacific Northwest’s beautiful natural environment. Exposure to the esthetics of cultures around the Pacific Rim instilled a humanistic approach to his creative process. He gathers images as bold as a Tongan war club, or as sensitive as folded origami paper, and creates a subliminal integration as a new art form.

"Moonlight" unique bronze sculpture
By Gerard Tsutakawa
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
Many of Gerard Tsutakawa’s home-sized sculptures, and some of his public ones, have a geometric window that allows the viewer to go through and beyond the form. In “Moonlight,” this small circle becomes the moon and one can go through its phases simply by moving from side to side, the highly polished edges of the circle’s edges mimicking delicate moonlight peering through the night of the dark patina surrounding it.
"Moonlight" is finely hand-crafted in fabricated bronze, as opposed to cast, and is therefore one-of-a-kind rather than an edition. Finished with the artist’s rich, dark patina with bluish tinges and a polished inner circle.

Sculpture Mythique
By Jean Arp
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Sculpture Mythique" is a sculpture by Jean Arp. The sculpture is edition II/III.
Jean Arp was born Hans Arp on September 16, 1886, in Strassburg. In 1904, after leaving the Ecole des Arts et Métiers, Strasbourg, he visited Paris and published his poetry for the first time. From 1905 to 1907, Arp studied at the Kunstschule, Weimar, and in 1908 went to Paris, where he attended the Académie Julian. In 1909, he moved to Switzerland and in 1911 was a founder of the Moderner Bund group there. The following year, he met Robert and Sonia Delaunay in Paris and Vasily Kandinsky in Munich. Arp participated in the Erste deutsche Herbstsalon in 1913 at the gallery Der Sturm, Berlin. After returning to Paris in 1914, he became acquainted with Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Amadeo Modigliani, and Pablo Picasso. In 1915, he moved to Zurich, where he executed collages and tapestries, often in collaboration with his future wife Sophie Taeuber (who became known as Sophie Taeuber-Arp after they married in 1922).
In 1916, Hugo Ball...

"Cephalic" Hammered Copper, Organic Shape, Naturalistic
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
"Cephalic" is a perfect example of what Kai means when he calls his work biomorphic. Biomorphic comes from combining the Greek words 'bios', meaning life, and 'morphe', meaning form. The term seems to have come into use around the 1930s to describe the imagery in the more abstract types of surrealist painting and sculpture particularly in the work of Joan Miró and Jean Arp. Kai achieves a compelling balance between abstract form and organic reference in "Lilly Pod".
Kai Wolter; artist, object maker of Kaiwerx Studio, was born 1972 in Aspen, Colorado. He established Soulmetal Jewelry in Chicago in 1994. Attended the University of The Arts in Philadelphia in 1997, studied metalsmithing and sculpture earning a BFA in 2002 then attended The Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where he earned his MFA Metalsmithing in 2006. By 2008 he established his Kaiwerx Studio. Exhibitions include shows in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Maryland, Michigan, Japan, Finland, and Germany. Kai currently lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, has graduated numerous well-known artists and has had extraordinary faculty. Cranbrook was designed by architect and faculty member, Eliel Saarinen who collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames on chair and furniture design. Numerous creative artists who are alumni of Cranbrook include: Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Jack Lenor Larsen, Donald Lipski, Duane Hanson, Nick Cave, Hani Rashid, George Nelson, Urban Jupena (Nationally recognized fiber artist), Artis Lane (the first African-American artist to have her sculpture, "Sojourner Truth," commissioned for the Emancipation Hall in the Capital Visitor Center in Washington DC), Cory Puhlman (televised Pastry Chef extraordinaire), Thom O’Connor (Lithographs), Paul Evans (Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings), Eugene Caples (small bronze images/abstract) and Morris Brose...
