That is really cool, and tried to find dimensions, but looking at some photos of other pieces from link above it looks to be about 2 to 3 ft tall. Maybe 4 ft. at the max?

Those are both really excellent sculptures, in different ways. I love the simplicity of Keith's. It also makes me realize that by now I always associate skulls with Keith, which is a bit ironic given his apparent immortality.

Awesome!

Here's a peek of my Papas wave! So grateful to have his involvement in this special project. Check out his Wave chillin @jameshotels Bid to own @paddle8

It would look great in my living room... ...if I lived in a gigantic mansion. Does anyone know the material it's made of?
Hard to distinguish in photo, but looks like some type of finished steel or treated bronze...but maybe a much lighter material that's been given a faux appearance?
Looking at Bernards, maybe fiberglass and resin, or some industrial strength styro-foam....

I wonder if Dylan has contributed anything?
He's produced a few pieces over the years.

Ah ha! Found the link to view all the sculptures.

Queen Noor designed one, lovely-
"The inspiration for my Wave is the idea that there is a vital connection between a healthy ocean, human welfare, and stability and peace. In many ways, this Wave is a reflection of my lifelong passion for the ocean and my work for human security and peace building. The image of the fisherman and his daughter in a dhow symbolizes both the traditional harmonious relationship of man and the ocean, and the importance of empowering girls and women to lead for a more sustainable planet." - Queen Noor

DESCRIPTION

"Gyotaku (gyo 'fish' and taku ‘rub') is a printing system that began to be used in the fishmongers of coastal towns of Japan in the early nineteenth century. They covered the piece with ink and pressed on it a paper that when it raised it reproduced the exact image of the fish. To talk about the overexploitation of the seas in the twenty first century, I have used some of the millions of fish that are daily thrown away in the markets to carry out this technique and emulate a school of fish while taking advantage of the sculpture's circular shape. This sculpture is the graphic representation of this nonsense." - Pejac

The #LaMerWaveWalk is in NYC until June 21. See Keith's piece at the James Hotel or bid on it at [paddle8.com]

Stunning! The above photo of the sculpture in a "real world" environment w/ Alexandra in the shot providing a sense of scale really highlights the impact of the piece. Thanks for posting, Cristiano . I've seen all of the sculptures shown on the Le Mer site and, IMO, Keith's is the most striking & beautiful - not that I'm biased or anything . The runner up goes to La Mer's simple, silvered wave - also gorgeous.

I wonder if Keith or Patti will bid on it to keep it in the family? I used to watch American Chopper and Paul Senior would bid on & win the custom cycles that his company fabricated to be auctioned off for various worthy causes.

I want one of these so bad!! There are a few that have no bids at all, which is rather surprising. I have the extra cash to buy one, but then it is a matter of where to put it! I have really become much more into art this year than I'd say I have ever been.

interesting to see that Hajjaj "The Andy Warhol of Marrakech" is leading the biding .....
