Arild Juel Petersen sculpture
Bronze sculpture from the early 80s by Norwegian sculpture Arild Pettersen, deceased. Acquired by my late husband, who paid the sculptor’s living expenses in exchange for artwork when Arild was a student at Pratt.
I believe my late husband was the only owner, as it was given to him by the sculptor. May have been exhibited in NYC galleries.

Dear Tanya,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
The presented object appears to be a bronze depicting a standing boy with a height of 3 feet. This bronze was made by the artist Arild Juel Pettersen (1964). This bronze has the edition of 2/9 and is dated 1983.
Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 3.000 to 6.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
