Loet Van Der Veen was a Dutch artist and sculptor, born in 1921, in Rotterdam, Netherlands, very close to a Victorian-era zoo, which he visited every day, until it was destroyed during World War II. He escaped from occupied Netherlands and served in the R.A.F., during the war. During the first 11 years following the war, he worked as a fashion designer in Zurich, London and New York. He studied Chinese glaze techniques for three years, with Fong Chow, then the curator of the Far Eastern Department of the Metropolitan Museum, in New York. Loet left New York and built a mountain-top house and studio, 1,600 feet above the Pacific Ocean, along California’s remote Big Sur coastline. Living in a remote area, where there was an abundance of wildlife, coupled with his love for animals, led him to create ceramic animal forms. Striving for more sophisticated and graceful images, he ventured into designing animals in bronze, enhanced by a rich palette of subtle patinas, offering uniquely stylized interpretations that have been appreciated by distinguished worldwide collectors. His works are in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world.

Michael Tatom Signed Limited Edition Bronze Stylized Leopard Sculpture
By François Pompon
Located in St. Louis, MO
An elegant and highly tactile contemporary bronze sculpture of a big cat (leopard/jaguar) by acclaimed Santa Fe artist and sculptor Michael Tatom. This piece showcases Tatom’s signature style: stripping away unnecessary detail to celebrate the animal's fluid grace, muscular arch, and elegant contours. The bronze is finished in a specialized, multi-toned spotted patina that brilliantly captures the organic rosettes of a wild feline body. This is a rare, small-scale masterwork that is rich with documentation. The sculpture is incised with the artist's signature on its tail. The underside of the paws feature complete markings, including the limited edition number 197/250 on one foot, and the initials SF NM on another, certifying its origin and casting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Measuring a refined 3.19 inches in width, this desktop bronze has a wonderful, heavy hand-feel and serves as a sophisticated addition to any collection of contemporary Western art or wildlife sculpture. The sculpture is in pristine gallery condition, completely free of scratches, surface loss, or alterations to its original hand-applied patina. From the Estate of Joan Conway Crancer, daughter of the famous St. Louis painter Fred Conway, and was a passionate art collector, included in her collection were Calder Sculptures, Max Beckman paintings and Roman antiquities. She was actively involved with the Saint Louis Art Museum, where she served for many years as Museum Trustee and member of the Acquisition Committee, and remained Honorary Trustee for the rest of her life. Together with her husband, they endowed a gallery at the museum, named for Alice and Fred Conway, her parents.
