About the Artist:
Loet Vanderveen (1921-2015) was born and raised in Rotterdam, Holland. He grew up living next to a zoo where he developed a love for animals. After escaping occupied Holland during WWII, Vanderveen traveled between London and New York City as a fashion designer. Unsatisfied with his career, he began private ceramic studies with the head of the Far Eastern department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where he mastered Chinese glaze techniques and forms. Finally traveling to California, Vanderveen applied these innovative techniques to his sophisticated and graceful bronze animal sculptures.
This sculpture is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Columbus, Ohio! Come in today and see the full collection.
