Description
This piece by award-winning artist Debra Hand, who recently had one of her cellos showcased in the Smithsonian, features a three-dimensional Maestro and musical staff. Collectors of Debra Hand's work will immediately recognize in this piece Hand's signature style with its contemporary simplicity and symmetry. Hand's one-of-a-kind designs are created by first stripping the instrument of its original finish, then applying multi-layered applications of hand-forged metals, stains, antiquing mediums and waxes.
This piece is signed by Maestro Carmon DeLeone, now celebrating his 20th season with the Illinois Philharmonic.
