Description: This listing is for an Handmade Abstract /Brutalist solid brass or bronze Sculpture of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the late Cleveland based artist Robert Palmer. It is not signed, as many of his pieces were not, but was acquired directly from his estate right out of his house. This completely Handmade artwork measures roughly ~12” inches and is a one of a kind OOAK piece. It is quite heavy- being a single solid casting of bronze or brass. The use of the metals almost raw texture is just amazing. Overall a fantastic contemporary piece by a well respected artist who was loved by his community. His recent passing will only make his works harder to find & more valuable in coming years. The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won’t have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor.
