ZEUS
"Zeus" is mounted on a limestone base that can be separated from the figure for ease of shipment or be made to accommodate a custom platform or a bronze Sculpted ground. With the bronze and limestone together their combined weight is approx 200 pounds. Michael Angell Studios provides professionally licensed and bonded shipping contractors to handle its Fine Art pieces and packages all pieces (in house) in custom fabricated containers. A brief story-description of this piece can be found under the heading ‘Artist's Stories.’ Dimensions are 38" tall by 24" inches elbow to hand, approximately.

Shiva's Triton
This piece was also brought to the wax, artist-original stage only (same as the 'Rilke’ portrait) and is shown here as a sample of the range of sculptural design I can offer a client. I am also able to do reproductions of originals for sculptors, reductions, reversals, enlargements and structural modifications and re-molds leading to re-casts of changed, artist’s proofs. I also offer restoration and repair services to large garden Sculptures and private interior pieces made of bronze, aluminum, steel, iron or brass. The Sculpture shown here is life sized. Dimensions are 52" tall by 24" hand to hand.


RILKE
The 'Rilke Bust' was an experiment in sculptural portraiture from using actual photos of the poet in different stages of his life and theorectical, anatomical applications. It survived only in its wax form, not being placed in a bronze bust format, nor was there a master mold taken;it now exists through these photos only. It was created 20% larger than life-size and was sculpted in homage to the efforts of the Poet: here the poet is shown accompanied by his family crest, wreathed in roses at the age of between 40 and 45. Dimensions were 24" wide x 28"inches tall.

Baby Zeus
Depicts 'Baby Zeus’ celebrating his birth while standing in the waves with his foot on a clam shell, keeping it from opening... Stopping time, while experiencing himself simultaneously pausing and alive. ‘Baby Zeus’ shown here, in a bronze artist's proof, is available for additional copies. Dimensions are 14" tall b y 9" inches wide at the base and weighs approximately ten to twelve pounds; the patina is traditional ‘French Umber/Brown.’
