Lot 1132: Ted Williams Bust by Armand LaMontagne
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
One-of-a-kind, life-size bronze bust of baseball’s last .400 hitter and Boston’s most revered sports legend is as close to perfection as a sculpture can get. Grand artist’s proof of the Splendid Splinter is the work of master sculptor, Armand LaMontagne. With an unequalled talent for capturing the very essence of his subjects, freezing them in time, LaMontagne has replicated the most perfect hitter in the history of baseball. Wearing his Boston Red Sox cap, the visage and gaze are just too real. No detail is overlooked, each pore and wrinkle in his face clearly defined, in what is the most life-like recreation extant of cultural icon, Ted Williams. Bust sitting atop a solid marble stand, approximately 19” tall is as heavy as it looks. The piece de resistance of any Ted Williams shrine.
