GEOFFREY DASHWOOD (BRITISH, 1947) AAR: A LARGE BRONZE MODEL OF A PHOENIX the bird with head up, opening its wings, signed 'Dashwood 10/12', raised on a painted wood pedestal, with fluted cylindrical shaft over circular base, with square top, 75cm high, 145cm overall Please note: the printed catalogue describes this bronze as a Cormorant, however the sculptor has confirmed the title is 'Phoenix' and he made it in 1990. During the 1980's Geoffrey Dashwood began to eliminate ‘all superficial detail to attain refined forms with smooth surfaces, enhanced by the application of coloured and multi-coloured patinas’. He created his own distinctive style which is firmly established in the field of contemporary art and now internationally recognized. His works have been bought by HM The Queen , Lady Getty, The Koch Collection, the National Museum of Wildlife, Wyoming, Oxford University, Mrs Kerry Packer, The Rare Bird Club, London, Sascha M Rockefeller, and many other noted private and national collections.
