Glyn Philpot (1884-1937) plaster, Garden Statue, 1913, 28ins. This work was commissioned by Robert Allerton, the distinguished American collector, who Philpot met at the Opera in Covent Garden. In 1913 Philpot was invited to stay at Allerton Park, near Chicago, after winning a gold medal at the Carnegie International competition. Philpot painted a portrait of Allerton (Man in Black, Tate Gallery collection) and sculpted the Garden Statue. Two over-life-size versions were carved in stone and positioned either side of an avenue leading to Allerton's house. This is one of two plaster casts that remained with the artist's family, a bronze was cast in 1968 and an additional eight in 1986. Exhibited: Grosvenor Galleries, 1923. Illustrated in Gibson, p.117
Glyn Philpot (1884-1937) bronzed plaster, Perseus, circa 1924-31, 12.5 ins. Perseus is depicted, exhausted but triumphant, with the head of Medusa. This work relates to Philpot's earliest bronzes. The pose is similar to that in Melampus and the Centaur, 1919. Robin Gibson suggests in the 1986 Fine Art Society - Bronzes catalogue that Perseus was started in the mid-1920's and re-worked by Philpot prior to the 1932 exhibition at the Leicester Galleries.
