    This charming vintage figurine of a cow suckling its calf was mold-made in separate parts, hand-luted and painted, resulting in images made from the same mold unique and individualized. Pieces like this were created by provincial craftsman for use in home altars along with favored deities. Although having strong rural roots, terracottas have become an integral part of the life of Indians of all socio-economic levels and many of these images are displayed in most Indian households. As modern pieces are mass-produced, those produced in the first half of the 20th century are becoming viewed as collectibles.

  • Vynila, The Queen of Blues Sculpture with Sunoco Guitar (01/100)

    $100,000.00
    H: 79″   W: 35″   D: 30″   |  CALL 213-568-3030 OR EMAIL [email protected] FOR SHIPPING COST

    The creation of renowned French-American multimedia artist and sculptor Pascal Giacomini, Giaco Guitars™ sculptures are uniquely playable works of art highly prized for both their musical and artistic merits. Technically, they are hybrid oil-can, solid body electric guitars.

    This spectacular item, “Vynila, The Queen of Blues,” incorporates one of Giacomini’s original guitar sculptures into a much larger work of 3-dimensional art that celebrates the legacy of blues and rock music in a strikingly imaginative figure.

    The sculpture is structured to resemble a regal figure, a queen, adorned in a “gown” crafted from layers of vinyl records. Each record is stacked circularly, forming a layered skirt that represents the depth and timelessness of musical history. Metallic discs above the vinyl skirt add a reflective quality, catching light and bringing an element of modernity and shine to the piece. Draped within the records is a shimmering blue-green fabric that adds a sense of movement and elegance, evoking the emotive power of the blues genre.

    The torso of the figure is fashioned from a guitar neck, crowned with a mix of cello halves that form shoulders or wings, adding a symphonic quality to the figure. Hanging embellishments from beaded elements accentuate the sculpture, suggesting jewelry or adornments fit for a musical “queen.”

    The headpiece of the sculpture is a Giaco Guitar—the Sunoco Guitar (01/100)—featuring a vintage oil can from the 1940s that ties in a classic blues theme and reinforces the idea of an homage to the past. The overall sculpture is a fusion of musical artifacts transformed into a powerful, iconic figure that celebrates the soulful and timeless essence of blues and rock music, embodying the spirit of a “Queen of Blues.”

    Specs for the Sunoco Guitar component of this sculpture include:

    • Swamp Ash wood resonating chamber assembled under pressure (a signature Giacomini invention)
    • Custom shop Telecaster neck
    • Lindy Fralin pickups
    • Gabriel Tenorio strings
    • Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners
    • Modified Telecaster gear
    • Guitar is plek’d (expertly aligned for optimum playability)
