Giacometti Sculpture Becomes Most Expensive Work Ever to Sell at Auction

via ARTINFO on Yahoo Finance:

A rare life-size and life-time bronze cast, from 1961, of Alberto Giacometti's L'Homme Qui Marche I, better known as "Walking Man," improbably became the most expensive work of art ever to sell at auction today, selling for £65,001,250 ($104,327,006).

Many of our pieces our designed in-house and can not be found anywhere else, like our lifesize T-Rex skull.

Tasmanian "Tazzy" Tiger Thylacine Original Bronze Animal Sculpture Art

Here at All Classics Ltd. and bigbronze.com we're always coming up with new and unique concepts for our original, exclusive bronze sculptures and statues. We thought it would be neat to do a statue of the fabled Tasmanian Tiger. We always thought it was a perfect subject to be immortalized in bronze and could be a great addition to a museum, display, or private collection. And, wouldn't you know it, the response has been great! We sold the first 2 pieces made within a month of their arrival. Both to private collectors. This piece is our very own design so it can't be found anywhere else, making it very rare, and a very good investment.

Dino Days Exibit at the Delaware Natural History Museum

Our T-Rex Aluminum skull sculpture is featured in the beginning of the video. We loaned the piece for use during the Dino Days exibit at the Delaware Natural History Museum.

T-Rex featured at Dino Days in the Delaware Museum of Natural History

We recently donated a lifesize T-Rex skull, and some of our other fossil skulls, to the Delaware Museum of Natural History for their Dino Days exibit. We were pleasantly surprised when they sent us their quarterly program and our T-Rex was on the cover! They also did a little write up about us on the inside. We're one of only a very few companies that makes fossil skulls in bronze, most are made from resin, and we're certainly the only one that makes these sculptures available at the prices we offer. Most resin castings cost more than one of our bronze skulls. We like ours because it allows people to interact and touch them without fear of damage.
