Estimated Hammer Price $65,000 - $75,000 This is a lifesize replica of a BMW 750 Motorcycle circa WWII. The artist - Shi Jindian created a not-quite-replicas of the Chiangjiang [Yangtze] 750, a military bike based on a pre World War II BMW. It took him three years to make, but he found deep serenity in the toil. When people touched his sculptures, they also touched the state of mind that emerged from the labor of his hands with tranquility and calm. This artist also created other works of art of musical instruments and people and many other items. The sculptures by Shi Jindian are made of steel, light, transparent and ethereal. Quote from the artist: “I don’t like hard, heavy materials like bronze, stone and clay. I have a fondness for fine and delicate things.” Name of Artwork - "Chandiang River 750" Artist - Shi Jindian b.Yuxi City, Yunan province, 1953 Weight - 280 Lbs /- Measurements - Length 94.5" x Width 66.9" x Depth 41.3" Material - Steel wire Buyer is responsible for proper packing of this item. It can also be picked up in Sealy, Texas 77474 Say sculpture and most people think of something solid and opaque. Shi Jindian’s sculptures are made of steel, yet they are light, transparent, almost ethereal. After searching for years for “a material that was brand new, completely untraditional”, he settled on steel wires. By trial and error, he learned how to crochet the two-dimensional strands into three-dimensional forms, using tools of his own devising. His wire meshes start out as wrappings around some common object. When the mesh is complete, Shi Jindian destroys or extracts the object, leaving only its steel exoskeleton. The result, he says, is a kind of fiction, a virtual reality that can be walked around and touched. Three Years to Make!
