(Displayed on the right of the lot listing and each lot)
Artwork: Frank Entsminger with “Frank Entsminger Bronze Art” is donating a limited edition bronze piece call “Cliff Hanger”. This is Frank’s fifth Dall/Stone sheep sculpture completed to date and the first to depict a ram lying down. The previous four bronze pieces (editions of 26) have all sold out. Mounted on a beautiful base of dark walnut with a lazy-susan, “Cliff Hanger' swivels so as to be appreciated from all angles, making a striking addition to one’s home or trophy room. The piece is approximately 14”T x 13”W x 9"D and weighs around 28 lbs. Frank moved to Alaska in 1962, initially working as a taxidermist until fate changed his life when he lost his home to fire. His hands were severely burnt. During his healing in 1976, he continued sculpting wildlife miniatures for ideas of life-size mounts that later turned him to casting his work into bronze limited editions. He has 16 Sold Out editions and another 12 available editions. He has lived in rural Alaska over 40 years south of Tok near the Indian village of Mentasta. Here he continues his sculpting in his studio where he also has a huge collection of bird mounts from all over Alaska and Asia. We thank him for his donation.
