Lot Essay
“Ju Ming's accomplishments go beyond the impregnable power and aesthetics emanating from his works. More importantly, he is keener than any other Chinese sculptors in recognizing his own cultural traditions that act as a natural force in his creative momentum, ... it's even said to be the fountainhead of all his creations. His vocabulary is contemporary as it is Chinese.” – from Carving for Humanity, The Biography of Ju Ming

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
It is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition. The work is structurally sound and stable. The surface is covered in a rich dark patina. Light rubbing scatted occasionally around the edges. A few small spots of blue pigment visible near the head of the sculpture. Several minor rusty spots on the sculpture’s base.
