Americal Eclectic is proud to present a true centerpiece of wildlife modernism: the large-scale “Bongo” by Loet Vanderveen. This work is finished in the artist’s legendary “Classic” Patina—a masterful interplay of deep, hand-rubbed umber bronze contrasted with high-polished gold-tone accents on the spiraled horns and dorsal ridge.
At 27 inches in length, this is one of Vanderveen’s most physically imposing and architecturally significant works. The “Bongo” perfectly encapsulates the artist’s philosophy of “minimalist realism,” where the power of the animal is conveyed through sleek, aerodynamic lines and a serene, meditative presence. Numbered 79 of a worldwide limited edition of only 250, this work is a rare and vital acquisition for the serious collector of contemporary bronze.
