Looking for Limited edition bronze cats sculptures anniversary gifts? Bronze sculptures are perfect for a special gift occasion or if you want to infuse some art in to your home. It all starts in the studio with an idea…then figuring out how to realize the vision in clay. Once you have the piece largely together, you have to add a lot of finishing touches to get it ready for the next step. In the video below is my most recent piece, a bronze eagle sculpture called “Wind Chester”.
I find that even collectors of bronze can be unclear about how editions work. Here I’ll pull back the curtain on the bronze industry a little and give you some key vocabulary to understand what you’re seeing here and at other sculpture sites. You’ll find a nice video on the process of how bronze sculptures are made right here, so I won’t get into that again. Early on in the process I decide how large an edition will be, in other words how many of a particular design will be created before the mold is destroyed. This is the whole idea behind limited-edition bronzes. Artist’s Proofs — Artist proofs are typically kept around by sculptors to compare to each member of the edition as they are produced to make sure the chasing, patina, etc. all look right. Artists proofs may or may not be made available to the public. There is also no hard and fast rule about how many artist’s proofs might get made for an edition, but typically it can be up to a 10th of the edition size. So, should I be so inclined, there might eventually be four artists proofs of 13” Doxie Bump. These will be numbered on each “AP 1,” “AP 2,” and so on. Foundry Proofs — Similar to artist’s proofs, foundry proofs are used at full-service foundries to serve as reference tools at each stage of production. There would be a wax foundry proof to help the wax chaser recreate what the finished piece should look like. There will also be a chased metal foundry proof to provide guidance to the metal chaser who’s grinding and welding the raw metal. Lastly, there would be a patina foundry proof to guide the patineur in applying the correct final coloration. Read additional details at Bronze sculpture to buy.
Tip for getting bronze art valued: Have an authenticity statement. The easiest way to know the value of your piece is by having an authenticity statement from the artist. A certificate of authenticity ensures that the piece was made by the artist, and it goes a long way in determining the new value as the piece ages. If the bronze sculpture is something you have inherited, you can potentially contact the artist to receive more information on the value of the piece.

Meet Laurel Peterson Gregory : My range of expression is enabled by a comprehensive skill set gained from extensive life experience. After earning a degree in Industrial Arts from Humboldt State University in Northern California, I came to my art in a roundabout way: mechanic, Master Electrician, building official, animal sculpture artist. From design to production, there is little that I can’t do to realize my visions.
