About the artist:
Human beings interacting, colliding, cooperating, striving,
achieving are the themes I wish to portray in my sculptures. My observations on the human condition are meant to be both humorous and thought provoking. Bill Starke's "Free Man" is everything that good art should be: technically superb, brilliantly composed, emotionally powerful and visually arresting... like George Stubbs, the 18th century English master who spent countless hours in slaughterhouses to understand the anatomy of horses, his knowledge shows in his work.
- John Hazelhurzt, Colorado Springs Independent
Sculptor Bill Starke was born in Colorado, studied art at the University of Southern Colorado, University of Colorado, University of Northern Colorado and Metropolitan State College in Denver, graduating with a B.A. in Drawing and Printmaking in 1973.

Unique iron wrought Magnolia tree - big size monumental outdoor indoor sculpture
By Ivan Zanoni
Located in Milan, IT
Majestic Wrought Iron Magnolia Tree Sculpture by Zanoni - Unique Handcrafted Masterpiece
Description:
A breathtaking fusion of art, symbolism, and masterful Italian craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind monumental magnolia tree sculpture is a tribute to nature's enduring grace. Created by the celebrated Italian artist Zanoni, known for his exceptional work in wrought iron, this piece stands as a singular work of art, both sculptural and soulful.
Forged entirely by hand, each petal and leaf of the magnolia is shaped with remarkable detail, imbuing the iron with an organic softness that belies its strength. Towering in presence yet delicate in expression, this magnolia tree becomes not just a decorative element but a powerful symbol in any space.
In the language of flowers, the magnolia represents candour, fidelity, purity, perseverance, and dignity-qualities beautifully embodied in this sculpture. Its timeless message, coupled with its commanding form, makes it ideal for grand interiors, gardens, cultural spaces, or luxury hospitality environments seeking a poetic and bold statement.
Details:
Artist: Zanoni
Origin: Italy
Material: Hand-forged wrought iron
Dimensions: Monumental scale (exact measurements upon request)
Unique Piece: One-of-a-kind, signed by the artist
Symbolism: Magnolia - candour, fidelity, purity, perseverance, and dignity
Finish: Weather-resistant patina for outdoor placement (optional custom finishes available)
Placement: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings
Style: Sculptural, botanical, timeless elegance
Despite its size, the work is easily transportable thanks to an ingenious system developed over decades by the artists. The branches can be dismantled and reassembled very easily (please see the video).
This piece is more than a sculpture-it's a living legacy in iron, carrying both the strength of the material and the poetry of nature. For collectors and admirers of extraordinary craftsmanship, the Zanoni Magnolia is a rare and meaningful acquisition.
Flowers and turtles are not included in the price.
