Bronze with verdigris, 1987, inscribed 'Wein SC 1947', dated ©'87 and numbered 3/12, and inscribed 'DW' on the back, on a black stone stand. 18 x 6 x 7 1/2 in. Note: American Modernist sculptor Albert W. Wein is known for his large-scale public works including the large granite bas-relief work on the Libby Dam in Montana and his design of the Penguin House for the Bronx Zoo. His smaller-scale works, as here, exemplify the Art Deco style he was known for.
