Luis Sanguino, Carved Red Marble Nude

Luis Sanguino (Spanish b. 1934) Seated nude on an integral stepped base, carved red marble with prominent white veining, incised signature. Barcelona-born sculptor Luis Antonio Sanguino Pascual has created hundreds of important sculptures and monuments in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, including a number of works in New York City. Perhaps the most well-known of these is his highly emotive monument ''Los Immigrantes'', located in New York's Battery Park. In the late 1950s, Sanguino became the youngest member ever elected to the National Sculpture Society of New York, and in 1976 was awarded the Medal of Isabel La Catolica by the Spanish King Don Juan Carlos II for his work creating monuments around the country.
