Predator by Richard Arfsten
This is a design that could represent a company that buys companies that are in some sort of trouble and breaks them up and sells off the assets to make its profits. To me the arrangement of the elements has a predator like look. The elements could represent acquisitions.
The major value in these small sculptures is the maquette aspect. The maquette is a three-dimensional model or blueprint that works to show that the design is accurate and can be built larger. A metal fabricator measures off of it to make the patterns to build from, just like a tailor uses your measurements to make your clothes. When presenting ideas to a client for consideration most sculptors submit a concept drawing on a piece of paper. A maquette is the actual sculpture in miniature. When you lift it up to view at eye level it will depict the sculpture exactly as it will be seen in real life as if you were walking up to and around it.
For a small additional fee you can buy the enlargement rights to have a metal fabricator of your choice build it to any size out of any kind of sheet metal. The maquette is lightweight - it can easily be mailed anywhere. Building the enlargement close to where it is to be used saves in transportation cost and import duties and you control all the details and eliminate my supervising fee.
This piece will come with a thick stone base that is polished on top and rough cut on the sides.
This is a solid cast Aluminum maquette. Edition of one. The rights to enlarge the piece are available, but are NOT included in the sale price of the maquette used as a desk top sculpture. Please contact me for further information regarding enlargement.
