Italian Master Sculpture Giuseppe Armani was considered an artistic genius. Voted “Artist of the Year” in 1996 by the NALED. Among the activities of his life, he presented his one-of-a-kind sculpture of "Madonna with Child and Young Saint John" to Pope John Paul II and presented 'Wild Hearts” to President Bill Clinton who displayed the sculpture in the oval office.

In 1998 Giuseppe Armani received the “Award of Excellence” for THIS Masterwork from the NALED. This is a large sculpture - see measurements below.

Giuseppe Armani died suddenly 14 years ago, on October 28th 2006, as a result of a "massive stroke”.

I bought this on a pre-order (before it became available – hence the low number). It has been displayed only for a very – VERY short time. The dealer I ordered it through naturally unpacked it (for inspection purposes) and had it on display while we were in transit to pick it up from him (fastest unpacking in the west!  I'm sure he wanted his other customers to get a peek at it before I picked it up), and naturally I had to admire it and show friends and family for a few days when I got it home before safely packing it away to await our move here. Unfortunately, as plans go, I've not been able to display it here as hoped – as we don't have the room to do it justice, so it has remained packed away.

I didn't remove it from the box for this listing, instead as seen in the photos I lifted the protective Styrofoam top and photographed from within and outside the plastic coverings to insure it continues to be preserved in EXCELLENT condition.

Measures approximately 22 inches tall by 24 inches wide and 10 inches in depth.

The box measures approximately 31 ¾ inches by 25 inches across the top by 16 ½ inches in depth and is complete with the original form fitted Styrofoam inserts, paperwork, and the protective plastic coverings that came with it.

A Beautiful Sculpture!
