Lot 2592
Goodnight, Veryl. "Duel Aloft." A combative encounter by two ganders over a dusky marsh, as implied by the deep green travertine base. Two Canadian Geese wing aloft in moves at once graceful, and yet undeniably aggressive. A visual emblem of the "natural world" -- beauty and blood. Patinated to a rich chocolate umber, this specie's distinctive white cheek patches have been left the natural bronze color, while the marsh leaves are colored green. Signed, "Veryl Goodnight, 1984." This number 4 in an edition of 30. Height of the bronze, from the top of the marble base: 17-1/2". A popular Western artist for over 25 years, Veryl Goodnight was strictly a painter until 1972. Her subjects included horses, landscapes and wildlife. In 1973 she turned to sculpting, where the public developed a hearty appetite for her unique works. She has been featured in all major American art magazines, and exhibits in prestigious shows. She has placed numerous works in both private, corporate, and public collections.
