Goddess Venus (1200-0798)
by Currey
This Rubenesque figural sculpture convincingly replicates an antique statue of the Goddess Venus, though it is made of composite. It's the finish that fools the eye, the aged beige rubbed onto the surface so that it collects in the rougher spots, mimicking how the stone would have looked where it was broken off. The beige sculpture is attached to a solid black marble base and mounted to read like it's a museum piece.
