Presenting a superb original bronze sculpture by Victor J. Bergeron (1902-1984), better known to the world as "Trader Vic," the legendary restaurateur and creator of the Mai Tai. This charming figural study depicts an otter in a delightful, lifelike pose, capturing the playful spirit of the animal with a modernist touch that is characteristic of Bergeron's work. Cast in a rich black patina with subtle bronze undertones, the sculpture stands an impressive 11 1/2 inches tall and weights over 13 pounds, making it a substantial and commanding presence for any desk, shelf, or collection. The piece is well marked with the artist's signature, and its larger scale, coupled with Bergeron's cult status, makes this a rare and highly collectible find for enthusiasts of his work.
The sculpture is in very good vintage condition with no major flaws and only light age appropriate wear.
