λMichael Bergt (American, b. 1956) The Yes Man, 1991 Kinetic bronze sculpture Edition 2/9 52.5cm high, 25cm wide With an associated onyx plinth Michael Bergt works across various media, and is perhaps best known for his historically inspired egg tempera paintings, which channel the Italian Renaissance. One such work was selected to feature in the 2018 BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery. Bergt is however by no means a traditionalist, and his bronzes show a fascination with the human form and often push the body's boundaries. The present work shows the humorous and slightly surreal element that characterises the artist's oeuvre. Bergt is a fellow of America's National Sculpture Society, and his work is held by collections across the United States. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
