"Concerned with craft as much as concept, Anton carefully renders each detail of his sculptures, down to every last sugar crystal. 'I have an innate reverence for the things we eat. Food brings people together and there is no better way to celebrate life. The sensual nature of the works stimulates basic human needs and desires that generate cravings and passion.'"

Palm Beach Modern Auctions does not install, disassemble or remove complex/electrified items (i.e. chandeliers). When selecting a shipper, please ensure they are capable of handling this.  Final arrangements for shipping, and all costs associated with shipping, are the responsibility of the buyer.  Any agreement for shipping is a contract between the buyer and the shipper; PBMA is not a party to any such contract and expressly disclaims any responsibility thereunder.  No items will be released for shipping until PBMA receives payment in full and all payments have cleared.  Thereafter, items may be picked up at PBMA's exhibition facility Monday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M. by the winning bidders or their shippers.  Please call PBMA the day before you intend to pick-up any item.  If a shipper is picking up an item, please send PBMA an e-mail confirming the name of the shipper and the property to be released into the shipper's possession, and providing PBMA permission to release the property to your shipper. All winning lots must be picked up within thirty (30) business days following the close of the auction.  After this time, each lot will become subject to storage fees of not less than $5 per day.  After 180 days following the close of the auction, any lot which is not picked up will be deemed abandoned by the buyer, will become the property of PBMA and may be disposed of by PBMA, in any manner it chooses, without notice and without recourse.
