    Good find! I know it’s original art by a known artist and that it is all subjective or it is objective.But looking at some of those prices it just seems ridiculous for a somewhat funky looking carved/modelled piece of small wood. Good thing that I have a day job..

    Not surprised, myself. Sculpture in general is not cheap, and neither is good carving. Beautiful, sometimes complex carving forms in his work. Lovely to look at. It might not be a bronze, but I bet the MCM crowd like this look better.
