Cybis Porcelain.This evocative study of Arturo Toscanini’s hands was originally titled The Symphony of a Conductor’s Hands and appears captioned as such in the 1968 Cybis catalog. This piece was issued in commemoration of Toscanini’s 100th birthday anniversary in March 1967. The great conductor died in January 1957; Boleslaw Cybis would pass away later that same year. The sculpture name was later altered to Conductor’s Hands ‘The Maestro’. (Most collectors simply refer to it as the Conductor’s Hands.) It was a limited edition of 250 and is 11.5” high including the wood base. Produced only in this white bisque colorway, the edition was completed in 1970.
