Scope & Content |
Item is a sculpture of a killer whale leaping from the waves. It has a patina (oxidization layer) on the bronze which gives it a jade colour. Piece is signed and dated. Since this edition belonged to Reid personally, he carved the waves base as a special edition to this sculpture. Of the 9 editions made of this sculpture, only this version (4/9) has the wave base. The rest have oblong bronze bases. For a similar piece in boxwood, see 2002.1.13. Also see the Vancouver Aquarium's Chief of the Undersea World. |
