Marble owl sculpture by Frank McGuire. Executed from a single block of white marble sitting on original shaped wood plinth. Came from my parent's Palm Springs estate - it lived on a ranch in Somis before they moved to Palm Springs about 20 years ago. They purchased it New Mexico, I assume from Taos where the artist is from. My father recalls going to the artist's studio up in the mountains, he can't recall exactly where but I am assuming it is a studio McGuire worked. No original receipts but he believes the original purchase price was $7K and likely purchased it in the early 1990s. It is incredibly heavy, over 100 pounds. Signed McGuire to the stone (see photo). The condition seems to be great - I have video I can also send over. The base is original but is somewhat dried out due to the outdoor dry air. Was placed under an awning but was kept outdoors and didn't have any rain or anything on it.
