| Description: | Gifted sculptor Ralph Therrien painstakingly carved out breathtaking detail within the solid acrylic block apparently using tiny dental drills. Even the veins, tendons and fingernails are sculptured on the backs of the Chess players hands.
Only one other similar sculpture created by Ralph Therrien appears to have surfaced since 1944 when these astonishing works of art were believed to have been made, specifically hands over the piano keyboard. Ralph Therrien passed away around 1993.
The transparent acrylic block remains in excellent condition. The sides of the block measure approximately 4 inches X 4 inches and 2 inches in height. The beauty of this rare masterwork, and the rarity and uniqueness of this translucent 3D sculpture makes it a must have for any connoisseur of rare art. The piece is signed and numbered. For Sale. |
