Description: Giuseppe Armani 1986 "Butterfly Girl" Handpainted/Signed from the Magic Memories Collection Sculpture. 1139-P Made in Italy. No Box. Retired in 2002. Giuseppe Armani was born in Italy in 1935 and passed away in 2006. Armani sculptures are known for their extraordinary detail and realism. Armani was a master, and in 1975, he accepted an exclusive offer from Florence Sculpture d'Arte. He developed an art workshop and brought in other artists in house over time such as David Lyttleton, Paolo Leoncini, and Fabrizio Tani. For the following 31 years he created beautiful masterpieces ranging from traditional Capodimonte styling to more modern, contemporary sculptures, including award winning pieces for the Vatican and whitehouse. Armani figurines should all be "signed in the mold" after 1973. In addition, look for a painted "signature" beginning in the 1980s. This was done by Mr. Armani himself and would represent his approval of the figurine. Some larger figurines would be called special or limited issues that would be consecutively numbered (750 to 5000). The figurines would range between 7 and 20 inches (or more) in height and have varied widths. Armani always kept production at numbers on issue and maximums rarely exceeded 10,000 world-wide, with half or more usually going to the United States. When 50% of a production sold out, the figurine would become "endangered", when 80% of a production sold out, it would be categorized as "last call", and once 100% were allocated to dealers, they would be "fully subscribed", and then the figurine would be "retired". Sometimes, the figurines would have customization by the dealers such as chains in gold or silver. Giuseppe Armani has long since passed away & the company no longer exists. These figurines are destined to become highly sought-after like a tiffany or rolex. No 2 are Exactly Alike. Figurine Stands 8.5" Tall on a Square Beveled Cherry Wood Base. I Received a Total of 5 Giuseppe Figurines from a Very High End Collector. Even though I could not Retain any of the Original Boxes These Pieces of Art were Kept Meticulously Inside of a Glass Vitrine. All 5 Giuseppe Figurines are in Mint Condition.
