Item Details

The wonderful harlequin in mask in bust form by John W. Mills (1933-2023) in patinated resin and wax on a laminate base and surviving from the studio of the late sculptor and artist.


The bust is in undisturbed and uncleaned order. We can’t see a signature.


John W. Mills was globally recognised as a master of the art of sculpture, and his work graces public and private collections, as well as institutions, worldwide. A fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors and Artists, he won numerous awards and design competitions throughout his distinguished career. Mills is also well known for creating iconic coin designs for The Royal Mint, including the D Day landings commemorative 50 pence piece.


His works, such as the William Blake Memorial and the National Firefighters Memorial, form a crucial part of London’s historic fabric, but his pieces can be found around the country, including the beautiful Memorial to Alan Turing at the University of Surrey.


A wonderfully haunting and evocative work that really captured our imagination with its raw unfinished and rushed quality.
