- Lot Description
Tony Hochstetler (American, b. 1964). "Bat and Cattails" - bronze and green stone with wood base, edition 3 of 15, 1993. Signed and numbered beneath one of the leaves. A remarkable cast bronze sculpture by Tony Hochstetler featuring a flying bat in mid air above pond or lake with lily pads floating upon the water's surface and a spray of cat tails swaying in the breeze above. The ensemble is mounted upon a generous rectangular piece of greenstone (possibly serpentine) which in turn is mounted upon a wooden raised base. A wondrous sculpture created by an artist who is greatly inspired by the natural world. In Hochstetler's words, "I sculpt the animals and plants that fascinated me as I was growing up, and that still intrigue me today. Insects, reptiles, amphibians, and fish have always been the animals that interest me the most. The diversity of these animals, the way they move, and the compositions that they form are the driving forces behind my desire to sculpt." Size: 14.5" L x 21.5" W x 24.5" H (36.8 cm x 54.6 cm x 62.2 cm)
Artist's Biography: "Tony Hochstetler is a sculptor of unusual animals and botanical subjects.
