Not mine for $19,000, even with a 7-day money back guarantee.
The piece has the merit of being carefully and decently made, but, to my mind, not much more. Rather empty compared with the Moore sculptures which it superficially resembles.
Offered this week by Saatchi from the studio of Marko Humphrey-Lahti of Royston, Herfordshire. A small town memorable to me for four things. First. as the end of the electric line to Cambridge from London Kings Cross. Second, as the home of a fine chipper. Third, as the home of the market where I once bought some very fine Worcester apples. Apples which I do not usually much like, being earlies which bruise easily and so travel badly. But these ones were spot on: excellent texture and a much better flavour than one usually gets with this particular cultivar. And fourth, as being next to Royston Heath, a fine place for flying kites. Possibly also a home for raptors. A collection of memorabilia which is now closed, as with the invention of the M11 we rarely visit the place.
More of the same on offer from the studio at reference 1. Perhaps he is punting for a share of the Russell Flint action.
