There are two versions of this statue, which many say is my best work. The first time I tried to cast this pose, I had a bad area, the left shoulderblade, so I recast it and did better [which became the one above.] Later I repaired the first mold and cast it as well.
So while I want $2500 for this one, I'll let the second one go for $1000. The second statue (which includes the head) was displayed at the Pyramid Club downtown for a long time.
The wood helps the composition but isn't structurally necessary. You could mount either of these on a wall in a shallow niche or on a little shelf.
Fiberglass-reinforced Hydrocal is amazingly strong. I have carried this piece around by the left arm, which is not connected to the lower torso, with no problem.
