MAITLAND-SMITH Statue of a Chimpanzee Looking Into a Mirror
Borrowing its design from German sculptor Hugo Rheinhold’s 1893 bronze masterpiece, Affe mit Schädel or "Ape with skull", this mass-produced statue by Maitland-Smith depicts a quizzical chimpanzee perched upon a mound of books, a small, rounded mirror in his hand. This statue has been heavily patinated throughout to suggest an aged finish with the chimpanzee’s mirror composed of subtle, polished brass that allows for slight reflective effect. Affixed with a maker’s mark on its underside.

ROMERO BRITTO (1963-) “Football” Resin Sculpture
This resin sculpture by Brazilian-born artist Romero Britto (1963-) depicts a stylized American football rendered in Britto’s famed patchwork tones of bright colors and patterning. One of the most collected and licensed artists in modern times, Britto has been a unique, artistic voice since the late 1980s, with commissions by brands such as Disney, Pepsi, Absolut Vodka, and Apple furthering his saturated expressions of Cubism and Pop art. Mounted on a squared black base, this serialized sculpture is affixed with a small plaque that prominently displays the artist’s signature and insignia.

NICODEMUS POTTERY “Koala Bear” Figurine
This small ceramic figurine by Nicodemus Pottery circa 1970 depicts a smoothly sculpted koala bear perched against a tree stump. A lasting figure in the Columbus art scene, Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) often employed motifs of small animals and birds in his work, most of which have become widely collected in the years since his passing. This ceramic figurine is minimally glazed and has been stamped with Nicodemus’ studio insignia along its underside, ensuring its 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 The 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.
