: An exhibition of 20 bronze sculptures of animals by Italian-born
artist Rembrandt Bugatti (1884-1916), currently on view at James
Graham & Son, has been extended through December 17.
From New York City, the exhibition will go to the San Francisco
International Art Exposition, January 14-17, and the Palm Beach
Jewelry and Antiques Show, February 18-22. Throughout 2005,
Bugatti will be featured at the James Graham Gallery in New York
and the Sladmore Gallery in London.
An illustrated color catalog is available, as well as a recently
published monograph by Edward Horswell.
The son of furniture designer Carlo Bugatti and the younger
brother of car designer Ettore Bugatti, Rembrandt Bugatti
distinguished himself as one of the finest sculptors of the early
Twentieth Century. Although his career was brief - he committed
suicide at age 31 - he produced some 300 sculptures to commercial
and critical success.
In the centennial exhibition, the gallery is featuring many of
Bugatti's most accomplished bronzes, including "Walking Panther"
of 1904, an example of his early impressionist handling, and the
more stylized "Hamadryas Baboon" from 1910.
James Graham & Sons is at 1014 Madison Avenue near 78th
Street. Hours are Tuesday-Friday, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and
Saturday, 10 am to 5:30 pm. For information, 212-535-5767.
