About the Item
A striking bronze sculpture by Mexican artist Victor Salmones (1937–1989), mounted on a polished black marble base and signed along the lower edge. Marked Prueba de Artista (Artist Proof), this rare example measures 26.5” high x 13” wide x 15” deep and demonstrates Salmones’ command of abstract modernist form, with smooth, flowing contours and contrasting patina that emphasize movement and light.
Victor Salmones is celebrated as one of Mexico’s most important postwar sculptors. Born in Mexico City, he trained at the Instituto de Bellas Artes and studied under artist Francisco Zúñiga. Salmones gained international recognition for his large-scale public works and gallery pieces, which are represented in collections throughout Mexico, the United States, and Europe. His work blends lyrical abstraction with humanist themes, often exploring transformation and the relationship between the organic and the architectural.
This bronze, offered as an Artist Proof, reflects the sculptor’s refined aesthetic and mastery of bronze casting. For interior designers, its scale and bold silhouette make it a commanding focal point in a living room, entryway, or corporate space. For collectors, it represents an opportunity to acquire a rare, signed, and documented work from a pivotal figure in modern Mexican art.

Victor Salmones
Victor Salmones, born in 1937, was a famous sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculptures by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Hoffman. He was trained to use the age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. His work explores styles that are both abstract and figurative and the grace and spirit inherent in his work endow his bronzes with a transcendent vitality. The international acceptance of Salmones’s sculpture attests not only to his artistic mastery of the medium but to the universal appeal of the themes that inspire his work which was love, compassion and humanity. Salmones died in 1989.

Whimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Expressive and evocative bronze sculpture by Francisco del Toro (Mexican, Guerrero, 20th century), signed Del Toro ’92. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases del Toro’s mastery in merging organic abstraction with emotional figuration, embodying both movement and introspection through its fluid, surreal form.
The elongated figure, perched on a solid stone base, reveals a captivating dialogue between smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured elements — a hallmark of del Toro’s sculptural language. The patinated bronze transitions in tone from deep forest green to earthy bronze, emphasizing the interplay between form, texture, and light.
Del Toro’s work often explores the human spirit’s resilience and transformation, with this particular sculpture exuding both strength and vulnerability. The head, seemingly emerging from raw material, evokes a timeless and almost mythological presence, while the sensuous curvature of the body connects to themes of fertility and creation found in Mexican modernist sculpture.
