Description
Guy FERRER (born 1955) Head 3, 2013 Bronze One-off piece 70 x 45 x 19 cm Originally conceived as a monumental project, this bronze sculpture represents the world’s imbalance, a random dance, life as it buffets us. A limited edition of 55, but each piece is unique, as is the one we are offering you. The Conquerors Like a flock of gyrfalcons taking flight from their native mass grave, Tired of bearing their haughty misery, From Palos de Moguer, sailors and captains Set sail, intoxicated by a heroic and brutal dream. They set out to conquer the fabled metal That Cipango nurtured in its distant mines, And the trade winds bent their masts Towards the mysterious shores of the Western world. Each evening, hoping for epic days to come, The phosphorescent azure of the Tropical Sea Enchanted their sleep with a golden mirage; Or leaning over the bows of white caravels, They watched rise into an unknown sky From the depths of the Ocean of new stars. José Maria de Heredia (1842–1905) The Conquistadors Please contact the firm for condition reports.
