Originally a fashion designer, Erte’s costume designs transition very well to the medium of bronze sculpture. Rendered in heavy bronze, Erte’s masterful detail work and ability to capture texture variance is even more impressive. “Beloved” features several elements borrowed directly from his fashion sketches, including his impressive figurative work and lifelike fabric draping. Best known for his Art Deco work, “Beloved” has the drama, gilded color pallet, and ornate finishes that we’ve come to expect from Erte’s body of work. Erte’s “Beloved” comes with a gallery certificate of authenticity.
