MARINO AMAYA (Astorga, León, 1927-Andalusia, 2014). Untitled. Patinated bronze. Signed in burin at the bottom of the back. Measurements: 12 x 5 x 5 x 5 cm (figure); 3 x 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm (base). Born in Astorga, Marino Amaya was in his early years shepherd, carpenter and weaver, although with only fifteen years he obtained his first commission as a sculptor, a statue of Santiago Apostle carved in stone. He began his artistic training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Salamanca, where he obtained a scholarship to travel to Madrid in 1945, in order to further his education. Four years later, in 1949, he began a long study trip that took him to France, Italy, Austria, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Greece and, outside Europe, Egypt and Palestine. In 1950 Amaya returned to Spain and participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid, being awarded a silver medal. This success earned him in 1951 an important commission from the bishopric of León, a grandiose monument dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The following year he held his first exhibition, which took place at the Association of Writers and Artists of Madrid, and in 1954 he was presented for the first time in León, in an exhibition organized by the Provincial Council. Still in this decade he held exhibitions at the Ateneo de Santander (1956) and the Romantic Museum of Madrid (1957). In the sixties he worked intensely, also holding exhibitions in various Spanish capitals, in centers such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid (1962). Also during these years he made the international leap, appearing in 1961 in Rio de Janeiro. He will continue with his exhibition career in the seventies, and in 1974 he is named favorite son of Astorga, a town where a street will also be dedicated to him. In 1981 he held an outstanding exhibition at the Zoma Gallery in New York, where fifteen of his works were acquired by the Rockefeller Foundation. That same year he moved to Marbella, the city where he would live and work from then on, in conjunction with his studio in Madrid. In 1985 Pope John Paul II granted him an interview to see his work "The Right to Life", which was blessed by the Holy Father and is now part of the Vatican collection. This sculpture will initiate the creation of a series of works that Amaya dedicates to the life of children. Also very present in his work are animal figures, especially dogs and cats. He is a sculptor very committed to public sculpture, and today we can find works by his hand in public places all over Spain, as well as in the Mateo Hernández Museum in Béjar and other public and private collections.

It was at the end of the 19th century that the first engine found its place in a Studebaker chassis. The brand went on to become a household name, offering a range of trucks and touring cars, to such an extent that after the Second World War, it made a name for itself on the Swiss market. In 1947, the "Champion" was the first car with a pontoon body. In 1953, the "Starliner" model, with its European lines, became the basis for a whole series of coupés. Three years later, 1956 saw the birth of the Hawk family, and in 1962 the Gran Turismo hit the road.

Immobilized for several years in the dry, the car will need to be completely overhauled, including a check of its safety features. The paintwork has a few defects, but is of a very good appearance. Structural elements show little visible corrosion. Pitting on the chromes. Nice upholstery. Dutch registration, FFVE file in progress. With technical inspection.
