Description :

Paul D. Wegner "First Violin Section" Statue 17 W x 16 T.

Paul Wegner, "First Violin Section" 1987, bronze sculpture with patina on marble base.

From a limited edition of 100.

Paul Wegner's works are highly sought after and collected by a number of celebrities like Phil Collins, Carlos Santana, the Frank Sinatra Estate, Dionne Warwick, and many others.

Wegner’s style of fragmenting, along with the music theme were a natural combination. The free-floating style evokes an almost musical feel to the design itself, allowing the figures to roll with the instruments in a wave of upbeat, visual enjoyment. As many have seen, just turn on the music and the design seems to come alive.

Soon after graduating college and becoming a professional sculptor Wegner was given his first large commission by the National Geographic Society in 1976. The project required Wegner to create 9 life size figures of primitive man for their new museum exhibit in Washington D.C. Wegner had meetings with archeologists from the Smithsonian, such as Mary Leaky, Dr. Dale Stewart, and many more from National Geographic, including their very talented creative staff.
