Richard MacDonald (American, b. 1946). Large bronze sculpture titled "Red Dress, Half Life," from the "Joie de Vivre" series depicting a half life-size ballerina perched delicately on the tip of her toes. A radiant smile lights up her face and she seems to spin gracefully as the fabric of her dress swishes around her. Signed and dated 2001 along the base. From an edition of 90. With a wooden plinth. Provenance: The collection of Clint & Mary Ann Jurgens, Minnesota. Walt and Vi Jurgens, Clint’s parents, began supporting Sullivan Hills, a Lutheran summer camp near their farm in Gurley, Nebraska, 50 years ago. The camp generously welcomes all children of the area with financial help and love. We are directing the proceeds of this sale to the administrators of the camp, Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries. Find out more at www.nlom.org. Lot Essay: Richard MacDonald's sculptures celebrate the beauty and physicality of the human form. He was classically trained at Art Center College in Pasanda, California. Following the great sculptural masters such as Auguste Rodin and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, he adds a contemporary element to his figural creations. His ability to focus on how the body can be manipulated has led to his work with Cirque du Soleil, MGM, and the Olympic Games. His process involves making a clay "sketch" or maquette of his work. These quarter-size models are the basis for his half life to life-size works. He then utilizes the famously painstaking Lost Wax method in which his work will become first a wax model and then a bronze sculpture. (Including base) Height: 60 in x width: 30 in x depth: 22 1/2 in. Weight (without wooden base): 198 lbs 6 oz.

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1936-1940/ Berlin-Tokyo/ Mock-up edition. Exceptional and unique mock-up edition in its original state (pencil pagination, red grease pencil, glued lamp-ends, numbering of photos, introductions and text pages), but fortunately protected by a sumptuous, sturdy cloth binding, with red leather presentation badge and gold lettering (10x10): "Nippon auf der Olympiade Deutschland 1936".The volume that testifies in German to the transition between the organizing city (Berlin 1936) and the host city (Tokyo 1940). Size: 35.5 x 45 x 5cm The photo on page 2 is missing. The war rendered this relay obsolete, making this document all the more interesting. Here, in 113 photos, we salute the exploits and life of the Japanese delegation in Berlin, in the stadiums and swimming pools, as well as in the Olympic village. It's the kind of picture we've never seen before. The volume is double-paged, with a smaller-format German text (45 pages), and large illustrated pages (37)... It ends, of course, with the dazzling Japanese record in athletics, swimming and other sports (10 gold, 4 silver, 8 bronze), and a photo of the departure train, but before that, there are adventures on horseback, in soccer and basketball... Nothing is missing.Nothing is missing, and we discover that the Olympic stadium was right up there with the swimming pool, and that Nishida, Tajima and Son were the stars of this ambitious delegation, which promised much for 1940. Winter sports in Garmisch are not forgotten: the opening shot shows the superb Nipponese birdmen, with the Emperor on hand to cheer them on... The large photo of Fuhrer Hitler opening gift-wrapped packages with the Emperor of Japan is astonishing.The introduction is composed and ready for printing, running to seven pages and several calibrated columns, signed by Dr. Lewald, who presided over the organization of the 10th Games, and the President of the German-Japanese Friendship, who replied. The October 1937 set is impressive.
