This is an indescribably beautiful, rare and uniqueGiuseppe Armani work of art. In my opinion as an Armanicollector for 30 Years, Promenade may be the most amazing piece done by Armani.It is a one of a kind Artist Proof (AP) of a limited edition of only 675. Because it is the Artist Proof and one of a kind, it is not numbered. Only a few artists proofs are made for the artist to choosethe final piece from and each is unique anddifferent from the other. Promenade was madein Florence, Italy at Sculture d\' Arte Studio. She bears the Capodimonte Hallmark \"N\"and Crown Pottery Mark on the back, as well as AP/675 andthe artist\'sink signature in addition tothe engraved one.
This piece was purchased and signed by Armani in front of me at an event in Portland, Oregon shortly before his death. It has only been out of the box twice, once to be the featured piece at the event and again for these photographs. The certificate has never even been opened andis still taped in place as you can see in the photo.
Promenadeis a must have for the discerning Armani collector and the hardest for me to part with.
Please contact me with your address and zip code for a shipping estimate. She will be shipped double boxed,insured and signature required by UPS.The box measures 36\" x 24\" x 24\" and weighs 40lbs.
GIUSEPPE ARMANI 1935-2006
GIUSEPPE ARMANI was born in Calci Province of Pisa, in 1935. From the moment young Giuseppe could pick up a pencil, he drew everything he saw. Soon his parents and teachers saw he had The Gift. Young Armani was already enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence when his father unexpectedly died.
Because the family now needed Giuseppe, art school was forgotten. Art, however, was not. When Giuseppe’s Parish Priest organized an exhibition for the young artists he knew, he entered Giuseppe’s sculpture of a classically inspired male torso. When the torso was taken to the Art Gallery in Pisa (adjacent to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) Giuseppe Armani’s talent was rewarded with the offer of a permanent job.
While in Pisa he often traveled to Siena and Florence where he immersed himself in the great masterpieces of the Renaissance. His distinction was and remains in his ability to infuse life, character and soul into his sculpture. Giuseppe experimented in wood, clay, alabaster and marble. His reputation grew with each breathtaking creation. Soon art enthusiasts from around the world started to flock to the Art Gallery just to see Giuseppe Armani’s latest creations. In 1975, Florence Sculture d’arte, recognizing Armani’s genius, offered him the opportunity to work exclusively for them. He was encouraged to give free rein to his artistic muse. For more than 25 years Armani has created masterpieces ranging from the traditional Capodimonte style to the more daring, contemporary and whimsical sculptures. Always and remarkably, Giuseppe Armani’s figurines have the spark of life and realism.
Sadly Giuseppe Armani passed away suddenly on Saturday, the 28th of October 2006, due to a massive stroke. We all have lost a great Master, but he will live on through his art, and all the collectors and art lovers all over the world, will share a part of his wonderful personality just looking at the timeless works of art he created.
