Monumental and elegant limestone sculpture of a 3 dimensional couple in a lover's embrace. Painted in a cement gray colored sand acrylic paint, giving it a great textured finish. Finished with a heavy clear lacquer that is non-yellowing and UV resistant for many more decades of enjoyment. New felt added to base and original sticker reattached. It has been fully restored to new condition. 

Alexsander Danel was born in 1940 in Estonia. He is a graduate of both the Moscow Industrial Arts School and the Moscow Fine Arts Academy. Mr. Danel earned many awards and distinctions before emigrating to the United States after a year in Rome. Whilst in Rome, he sculpted set designs for Fellini's "Cassanova" and the Napoli Theatre production of "Aida". After settling in New York City, he completed several commissions for Rockefeller Plaza and Radio City Music Hall. He was appointed "Principal Sculptor" for Austin Productions in 1988.  

I have been working on a passion project that involves purchasing sculptures from various sources and with varying degrees of damage. It has been a labor of love with countless hours and loads of hard work. My goal is to restore these pieces back to their original grandeur, sometimes with an updated color palate when appropriate. I hope to not only keep another artist’s masterpiece living on for a few more decades, but to introduce the next generation to sculptures as home décor that may otherwise end up in our landfills.

Sculptures are not just art; they are three-dimensional stories that invoke many feelings and memories. Thank you for looking at my collection of restored treasures and I hope you find one that tells your story.
