Magnum opus (2013) by Dutch sculptor Natasja Bennink. This large bronze self-portrait is prominently depicted on the accompanying, signed book From Kiss to King , both on the cover and inside. A slightly smaller version (60cm high) of the statue can be found on her website. A copy of this statue was purchased by the Drents Museum in 2014.
The statue was made in an edition of 8 pieces. I could not find a signature and numbering but Bennink has confirmed the authenticity of the statue. The statue comes from the estate of 'a special collector' (Bennink's words). I will provide a Certificate of Authenticity if the buyer would like one.
Bronze sculpture mounted on wooden base. Total weight somewhere between 30kg and 40kg (estimate), total height 166cm, in very good condition. Gallery price 5500-6000 euro.
Sculpture dimensions: 66cm high x 38cm wide x 40cm deep
Plinth dimensions: 100cm high x 26cm wide x 30cm deep
This item is very strongly preferred to be picked up. Shipping by courier is possible and can be arranged by the buyer with a courier of his/her choice (for example with Swift Couriers via the Kunstveiling website).

When purchasing, a work of art can always be picked up, but by appointment, in Diemen (near Amsterdam, a few minutes from the A10 ring road). The collection period is very long; you can possibly pick up the work weeks or even months later and, if possible, combine it with a visit to (the) Amsterdam area for other matters. In that case you will, of course, save any shipping costs.
