Large 'Clown' sculpture by Prince Monyo Simon Mihailescu-Nasturel (b. 1926). 'In the late 1970's, after leaving his mark on Canada, Prince Monyo returned to the United States to live. He did one man shows and exhibitions in many metropolitan cities. During that period, Prince Monyo went to Italy and opened a studio in Piatra Santa which was dedicated to carving onyx. Then he undertook the task of presenting exhibitions and shows throughout Europe. This resulted in his works being included in collections in Spain, Italy and France, thus broadening his collectors beyond the United States, Mexico and Canada. His works are on display in many museum around the world and included in some of the largest private collections. In 1980, he moved permanently to Palm Beach, Florida... Prince Monyo's bronzes are displayed at numerous public facilities and buildings and have been featured in several articles and magazines including 'International Art Guild', 'Architectural Digest' and many other publications. He has appeared in several movies and many television shows.' {source: princemonyo} (Key Word Search: Karpuska, Contemporary, Figurative, Decorative, Degas, Bronze, Cast, Alexander Archipenko, Aristide Maillol)
