About the Item
This powerful, absolutely stunning Midcentury nephrite jade statue has been attributed to the artist Mary Polon, known mostly for her paintings. The texture of the (untreated, 100% natural) nephrite jade is nearly identical to statues carved thousands of years ago, though the form is distinctly more modern. But this tells us that Polon used more traditional -less modern- carving and polishing methods to achieve this gorgeous finish.
Tool marks, deep scrapes, cut marks -all evidence of the more primitive tools used in the creation of this statue suggest that Polon was experimenting with this new (for her) material.
The jade statue measures 9" and 11" atop its original base. The jade is 16" at its widest. The base measures 8" x 6" and is a varnished hardwood.
On the rear of the piece you can see original stickers indicating the artist and date (1970). The jade is attached to the base with two thick screws that remain unseen unless looked for. There is certainly glue or resin inside the two holes drilled on the bottom to accept the screws; nonetheless, we would not lift the statue by the stone, but rather mindfully by the base and stone together.
A rare, organic, gloriously brutalist piece. No cracks, chips or repairs. Simply spectacular.
