Authorial and interior sculpture from the Don Foundation collection: bronze, wood, metal and mixed materials. Cabinet and easel sculpture with provenance and full attributes.
The sculpture section is cabinet-scale work, made for an interior rather than a square. The collection holds 12 works, priced from 30 000 to 3 901 000 ₽; from 15 000 to 22 000 $ (some works are priced in US dollars).
Bronze is cast from the artist’s model in a limited edition: each cast is numbered and the patina applied by hand, so even adjacent examples differ slightly. A separate group is silver with gilding and stone inlay, alongside artists’ experiments with coal, resin and pyrite.
What to look for: the artist’s signature and cast number on the base, the state of the patina, and the foundry mark. Everything known about a given piece is stated on its page.
The range is from 30 000 to 3 901 000 ₽; from 15 000 to 22 000 $ (some works are priced in US dollars) – wide, because the section holds both small cabinet bronzes and works in precious metals.
Both. Bronze is almost always cast in a limited edition with the number on the base; works in artists’ own materials are usually unique.
The signature and cast number, the state of the patina, and the foundry mark. Patina changes over time and is not a defect.
12 works: bronze, gilded silver and works in unconventional materials, including numbered bronzes from Mikhail Shemyakin’s “Carnivals of St Petersburg”.
Sculpture is packed separately, allowing for weight and the fragility of a patinated surface.
