One-of-a-kind life size art installation, "La Famille", with cast and patinated bronze sculptures of father, mother and daughter holding a patinated and engraved bronze and pewter table top, incorporating an abstract painting with enamel cloisonne, by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, American 1970s (signed twice: “Philip+Kelvin LaVerne” on edge of table top, and “Philip Kelvin LaVerne” in colored part of table top). The solid bronze sculptures were attained via lost wax process which is extremely difficult with works of this size and complexity. As stated by Kelvin LaVerne discussing this unique work, “La Famille” is a sculpture of a typical family in which their love for each other is expressed in a quiet and subtle manner rather than a picture of them embracing.” It’s the celebration of the a family which enjoys every moment of being together. This work was a unique art installation which resided in their gallery. A photo of this work in the Seymour Gallery section of the LaVerne gallery is shown in this listing. Only the finest artworks were exhibited in the Seymour Gallery.
