"technology man" Life-Size Bronze Sculpture
By John Brevard
Located in Coral Gables, FL
A bronze sculpture by John Brevard depicts a man in a profound state of contemplation, standing as if in prayer. His focus is entirely on the cell phone he holds before him, symbolizing the modern world's devotion to technology. The figure's expression, a mix of reverence and obsession, suggests a deeper narrative about the digital age's impact on human spirituality and connection. The phone, subtly detailed to hint at an apple, serves as a modern 'forbidden fruit,' representing temptation and knowledge in the digital era. The sculpture captures the intricate relationship between humanity and technology, rendered in bronze to evoke a timeless quality amidst a contemporary theme.
This piece is a contemporary expression on a midcentury masterwork. Inspired by A 1947 bronze sculpture by Alberto Giacometti. The pointing man became the most expensive sculpture...

Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved from limewood in Germany, circa 1930, this four-and-a-half-foot tall statue depicts St Christopher carrying a young Jesus across a river. The legend states that Christopher (who was considered to have size and strength), was instructed to serve Jesus by assisting travelers with crossing a perilous river. One day a young child asked for help, and after safely reaching the far shore, Christopher complained about the child being heavier than the whole world. It was at this point that the child revealed he was Jesus before...

Very Large 19th Century North-Western Indian Carved Wood Totem Pole
Located in Germantown, MD
A very large 19th century North-Western Indian figural Carved Wood Totem Pole.
This very rare Pole measures 8" in diameter and stands 7.5 feet tall. This is one of the rare historic Totem pole that survived the late 19th century ban of Totem poles. Nearly all Totem-pole-making had ceased by 1901. Carving of monumental and mortuary poles continued in some, more remote villages as late as 1905; however, as the original sites were abandoned, the poles and timber homes were left to decay and vandalism. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, before the passage of the American Indian Religious...

This sculpture is a series of two stylized human figures intermixed with two representations of presumably Spirits, which has several carved faces in them.

Depictions of young angelic boys are also known as putti, or putto for a single one. Since the 17th century on they remained popular and are found in various forms. Perhaps the most known version is Cupid. Looking at their attributes time periods can be narrowed down.

Burmese Carved Hardwood Crowned Buddha Seated in Western Pose, Mid 20th Century
Located in Austin, TX
A sublime Burmese carved, lacquered and gilt hardwood crowned Buddha seated in a "western pose", early to mid 20th century, Burma (Myanmar).
The elegant and graceful Buddha is portrayed wearing an elaborate six pointed crown with two large "wings" to the side, and a simple robe wrapped around the body and draped over one shoulder. He is seated upon a high stepped throne, his feet resting upon a double lotus pedestal.
The Buddha's face is serene. He stares out in the distance calmly, with eyes slightly downcast, and a slight smile on his face. His long, pendulous earlobes blend in with the wings of the elaborate crown upon his head. A lotus bud finial would originally have surmounted the head, but is now missing. He holds one hand in his lap, palm up in a meditative gesture. His other hand rests gently on his knee.
This pose, with the Buddha seated upon a raised throne, with both legs planted on the floor, is often referred to as a "western pose". The pose is most often associated with the Bodhisattva Maitreya...

Neopolitan Santon in Terracotta Fixed on a wooden base

Neapolitan nativity scenes are very different from those seen in churches due to the importance of secular settings. They are not limited to staging the child Jesus surrounded by the holy family. Still, they managed to reproduce the daily life of the Neapolitans of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The elegance of the figuration and the fineness of the execution of these santons also reveals the quality of the know-how of the Neapolitan artisans. The markets, hotels, dances, itinerant vendors, beggars, taverns, various trades, guarding herds, the royal procession and all that was within reach of everyday life or fantasy had their place in the Neapolitan crèches...
