Title: Corsair portrait of Peter Schaufuss (s.5682)
Medium: Original bronze sculpture, 1978/9, signed by the artist with initials, TM, in the bronze.
Published by: The artist from his studio in Hampstead
Edition: 5/95
Note: We have consulted the artists studio and are advised that this is a portrait of Schaufus in the role of Corsair. Peter Schaufuss was an international star in the 1970s and 1980s, before he became the artistic director of the London Festival Ballet (now called the English National Ballet) in 1984. He was the artistic director of the Deutsch Opera Ballet in Berlin from 1990 to 1994 when he became the artistic director of his native Royal Danish Ballet. In 1997 he formed his own company ""Peter Schaufuss Ballet"" which toured London. One very controversial show, recently produced, portrayed his late friend, Diana, Princess of Wales. In this performance the Royal Family were portrayed in a Less then flattering light.
