BRONZE SCULPTURE (Closed / Sold Out Editions)

Vic Payne’s bronze sculptures stand as exquisite tributes to the rugged beauty and rich history of the American West. Each meticulously crafted piece weaves together evocative storytelling, intricate details, and dynamic compositions. Whether capturing the spirit of rugged cowboys, majestic wildlife, or poignant historical moments, Vic’s art resonates with authenticity and skill.

In this section of Vic’s body of work, the following bronze sculptures are either sold out or closed limited-editions.

1. Sold out Bronze Editions: When a limited-edition bronze sculpture sells out, it means that all available copies or editions of that particular artwork have been purchased by collectors or art enthusiasts. Vic’s commitment to exclusivity and rarity leads him to destroy the mold used for casting once an edition is closed or sold out.
2. Closed Bronze Editions: Sometimes, a bronze limited-edition can be closed due to various reasons. It could be the mold was damaged during the intricate Lost Wax Casting Process or that Vic intentionally decided to close the edition. Regardless the cause, Vic ensures that the mold used for casting that particular artwork is destroyed.
3. Mold Destruction: Once a bronze limited-edition is closed or sold out, Vic will destroy the mold used for casting to protect his collectors as well as himself as an Artist. This practice serves several purposes:

* Preserving Rarity: By destroying the mold, the artist ensures that no additional copies can be made. This preserves the exclusivity and rarity of the existing sculptures, maintaining the value for collectors.

* Client Protection: Clients or Collectors who have purchased a limited-edition bronze sculpture can be confident that their art purchase remains unique as well as their bronze sculpture’s authenticity.

* Artistic Integrity: Destroying the mold emphasizes Vic’s commitment to the integrity of his work.  It prevents unauthorized reproductions and reinforces the authenticity of each sculpture.

In summary, Vic Payne’s commitment to preserving rarity, client protection, and artistic integrity shines through his meticulous craftsmanship and deliberate mold destruction. His bronze sculptures continue to evoke a sense of grandeur and timelessness, celebrating the spirit and history of the American West.
