After LEONARD WELLS VOLK “Hands of ABRAHAM LINCOLN” Bronze Sculptures
This pair of bronze sculptures by American sculptor Leonard Wells Volk (1828-1895) depicts the hands of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), and were likely cast from earlier bronze replicas made by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), a fellow sculptor. The plaster originals by Volk were cast on May 20th, 1860, two days after Lincoln had been nominated by the Republican Party for the presidency. Lincoln’s right hand was still swollen from shaking hands with supporters and as such, he held a piece of cut broom handle to steady his hand in the mold. These unique pieces of American history have accrued a natural patina over the years and showcase etched details en verso that denote the date, model, and artist.

PAUL J. NELSON (1970-) “Red Gong” Cast and Acid Etched Glass Sculpture

Nelson is crafted from cast and acid etched glass and depicts a creature-like abstract form wrapping lanky tendrils around a second, tubular structure; the blackened glass being illuminated by cindering tones of glowing red. Nelson, a graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, draws inspiration from bizarre tools and everyday objects, his work juxtaposed by brooding dark comedy, epic fantasy, and a quest for depth in meaning.

NICODEMUS POTTERY 3 Piece “Nativity” Set of Ceramic Figures
This set of ceramic sculptures by Nicodemus Pottery consists of figures of Mary and Jesus, Joseph, and a lamb to tenderly depict a scene from the classic nativity story. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) imbues gentle reverence onto the figures in this set, with each character bowing their heads in reverence or silently praying towards the newborn Christ child held in the Virgin Mary’s arms. Glazed in a glossy, translucent white, each figure in this set of ceramic sculptures is stamped with Nicodemus’ studio insignia along their underside, ensuring authenticity.
About the Artist:
Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) was a Columbus, Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher known for his small clay birds, as well as other wildlife, teapots and pitchers. His pieces are recognizable as being produced with variously colored translucent glazes, which enhanced the redness of the high iron content of Ohio clay to create a russet brown undertone. Nicodemus earned a degree from Cleveland Art School and then went on to teach at Dayton Art School and Wittenberg College. In 1932, he became dean at the Columbus College of Art and Design and later taught at Ohio State University and served as president of the Columbus Art League. All of Nicodemus' molds and glazes were destroyed upon his death at his request.
