Item Description Up for your consideration is a remarkable, museum-grade work of 20th-century American art: an original 1999 cast bronze self-portrait bust by listed Pennsylvania artist and sculptor, Herbert Simon. Titled "HBS Head I," this commanding sculpture showcases the artist's masterful command of expressionistic form. Executed with a highly tactile, heavily modeled surface texture, the piece features a deeply expressive face complete with Simon's signature molded artistic eyeglasses. The bust is mounted atop its striking, original dark geometric block pedestal column, creating a magnificent modernist silhouette. As a true self-portrait from the artist’s mature period, this investment-grade sculpture is a premier conversation piece. A phenomenal acquisition for fine art collectors, corporate offices, or upscale designer libraries! About The Herbert Simon Studio Archive: This piece belongs to an exclusive, single-provenance acquisition sourced directly from the private estate and studio archive of celebrated American sculptor and university professor Herbert Simon (1927–2017). A student of abstract expressionist titans Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and Philip Guston, Simon served as a professor at Wilkes University for over 20 years, where his work bridged the gap between the New York School and academic structuralism. His monumental public commissions are permanently installed at major regional landmarks, including the 'Facets' aluminum installation at Wilkes University, the 'Aloft' sculpture at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, and civic plazas across Pennsylvania. Spanning over fifty years of creative evolution, this collection represents a rare opportunity to acquire investment-grade art with institutional provenance.
