Sculptor - Edward Kemeys
Title - Lynx
Lost Wax Cast Bronze Cast Number 3 8 1/2" height by 8" length (21.5 cm by 20.5 cm)
In 1971 the Kemeys Foundation authorized the casting of a limited number of Kemeys bronzes made from the artist's original plasters and master models. The foundry that did the bronze casting was the same foundry used by Harry Jackson who advised them and helped with the project. Most of these Kemeys models were not cast in large numbers and the project was not finished so few of them exist today.
This is cast number 3 of the Lynx Washing which is a rare subject. The Lynx or Bobcat is shown grooming itself in a pose often seen in our pet cats. The bronze has sharp detail and is finished in a rich brown and green patina, it is mounted on the original 1 inch thick marble base.
