Description from the seller

Sculpture by artist Ripollés, patinated bronze, with the number PA. III/IV.
Weight 25kg

Bring the certificate of authenticity, spooky title. This sculpture belongs to a series that is already sold out.

Juan García Ripollés—known as Ripollés—was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother at childbirth took him to Castellón La Plana.
His early years were not easy: he gathered horse manure, was a scrap dealer, and a rough painter until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that was where he achieved it.
Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since her return to Spain in the sixties, her inspiration is nature.
Today, at 92 years old, he still does so: he paints in the garden of his house in the small district of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón.
Over the past five decades, his paintings and engravings have been exhibited in the finest galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo, and Beijing.
Their large-scale sculptures have been installed in the parks and main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch, and Beijing.
