19th and 20 Century European Sculpture

Jules Desbois

What a wonderful time of year, The Season: The Chelsea Flower show starts it off, but for some of us there are things like the 19th & 20th Century European Sculpture London, New Bond Street,
Thursday, 29^th May 2008, 10:30 AM. At Sotheby’s.

This is a feast for buyers and art lovers. There is an online catalogue and I commend it to you, whether you can afford it or not there is some beautiful work up for sale.

Important Note for Art Lovers

There is a vast amount of fine art in private hands and for most of us we only get to see it when it is sold! So do take this opportunity. (Even if you are lucky enough to be invited to a home with great works of art in it, it is rude to look too obviously at it. The reason I believe is that it can be miss-understood; you might be looking to see if it is real, a copy or a print! Very sad really especially if it is the real thing!)

Some Spring Flowers

I am neglecting my blog, but working very hard on a large figure and a stallion, both must be finished urgently!!

These are for Marley, who asked if it was spring yet over here in England. The answer is; "sort of", flowers and birds think so but the rest of us are gritting our teeth facing a cold spell with a mixture of sun, frost hail and even snow in some places.

A Friend has just retured from Maine after a short visit and tells me it is still snowy and cold there.

Prince T and RT

Here are a couple of Sculptors I particularly like with links to other works or their site.
