About the Item

Warren Wheelock Untitled (Young Woman Nude), 1924 Incised signature and date to edge of base "© 1924 by Warren Wheelock" Bronze Sculpture: 20 h × 4½ w × 4½ d inches Base: 5¾ h × 5¾ w × 5¾ d inches Overall: 25¾ h × 10¼ w × 10¼ d inches Provenance Private Collection, New York Thence by descent Exhibitions Roslyn Harbor, New York, Nassau County Museum of Art, Deco at 100, January 18 - June 15, 2025. Warren Wheelock, a self-taught artist, adopted a wide range of sculptural terminology, crafting conventional portraits of notable individuals alongside more abstract forms featuring sharp lines and smooth depressions. His sculptural work developed in part from a fascination with whittling, which involves sculpting a small piece of wood through careful, calculated knife cuts. He gained particular recognition for his pristine geometric forms to craft figures that were non-representational, and Wheelock also created heroic portraits. He worked with oil on wooden panels and plaster. He sculpted soapstone and created bas reliefs in plaster. In 1915, Wheelock constructed a log cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, which he utilized as his studio. He became a vibrant part of the community and took on roles as a teacher, doctor, and undertaker. Wheelock served in Company K of the 6th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Spanish-American War.
