Sculpture speaks to us in a very special way and its innate physicality enriches our lives quite differently from any other art form.

Stuart Lochhead Sculpture offers the best in all media from antiquity to the 20th century. Whether created by a celebrated or a little-known artist, the sculptures we handle are of the highest quality.

With an intimate knowledge of the sculpture market and dedication to precise research we pursue the acquisition and sale of sculpture with three essential values in mind: Rarity, Integrity and Beauty.

Carpeaux

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (Valenciennes, 1827- Courbevoie, 1875)

Bacchantes aux Roses, circa 1872

The present sculpture testifies to Carpeaux’s technical prowess, and to his privileged relationship to marble, the artist’s favourite medium.

Southern Germany

1750-60

Immaculate Virgin

This virtuoso, polychrome wood sculpture epitomises the Bavarian Rococo style with its varied use of colour, gilding and paint finish.

Etex

Antoine Etex (Paris, 1808 - Chaville, 1888)

Model for the tomb of Théodore Géricault (1791-1824), 1840

“For your honour, sirs, for the honour of our fellow painters, the artist of the painting Medusa must have his tomb”, declared Etex when he discovered the indignity of the painter’s burial. This bronze is a reduced version of Etex’s monument in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Gasparo Mola

Gasparo Mola (active in Florence, 1571 - Rome, 1640)

Cristo Vivo, Florence, circa 1600

A beautifully chased gilt bronze after a model by Antonio Susini (1558-1624).

Bourdelle

Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929)

Vase with a naked woman, circa 1892

This beautiful and sculptural vase is an early work Bourdelle realised in collaboration with Alexandre Bigot, one of the most important ceramicists at the time.

Carrier-Belleuse

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (Anizy-le-Château, 1824 – Sèvres, 1887)

Eugène Delacroix (Saint-Maurice, 1798 – Paris, 1863), 1864

At the 1865 Salon, the critic Gonzague Privat was pleased to discover "the portrait of Eugène Delacroix, beautiful bronze that was admired at the exhibition of works of the great painter [...] Mr. Carrier-Belleuse is, without any doubt, the most charming sculptor we have; his talent is varied like nature; he approaches everything and triumphs."

Lorta

Jean-François Lorta (Paris, 1752 - Versailles, 1837)

Sacrifice to Love & Sacrifice to Jupiter, 1790

Two delightful terracotta reliefs signed by a little-known but evidently very gifted French artist.

Marque

Albert Marque (Nanterre, 1872-1947)

Sleep

A style inspired by Carpeaux and Dalou and infused with Renaissance and classical art. Marque exhibited frequently at the Salons of Paris including the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts where this marble relief was exhibited in 1899.

Parodi

Filippo Parodi (Genoa, 1630-1702)

Christ at the Column, circa 1679

Parodi is widely regarded as Genoa’s foremost native baroque sculptor. His compositions defined the visual culture of the city and decorated the altars of prominent churches across late seventeenth-century Europe.

David d’Angers

David d’Angers (Angers, 1788 - Paris, 1856)

A portrait of Jean Racine (1639-1699), 1832

This special plaster bust romanticises the great French writer renowned for his mastery of French classical tragedy.

The works illustrated here are but a selection.

STUART LOCHHEAD

Having graduated from the Courtauld Institute of Art in 1994 Stuart joined Daniel Katz at his first gallery in Jermyn Street. During the following 23 years he worked alongside Danny Katz handling some of the greatest European Sculpture to come to the market, enriching the collections of the most distinguished collectors and museums.

Stuart has curated a multitude of exhibitions in London and New York for the gallery. He worked alongside the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam on loan shows of their collections of Renaissance and Baroque bronzes hosted by the gallery and supervised the accompanying catalogues. He was instrumental in creating London Sculpture Week, a commercial gallery initiative now a part of London Art Week. He was a trustee of the Public Sculpture and Monuments Association for 10 years and sat on the Editorial Board of the Sculpture Journal. He was Chair of the Courtauld Association for 7 years and he is now Ambassador for the Samuel Courtauld Society. The Courtauld is an institution he is a passionate supporter of.

SOPHIE RICHARD

A graduate from the Ecole du Louvre and the Sorbonne, Paris, Sophie Richard has worked for art dealers specialised in Old Masters in Paris, New York and London.

Over the last decade she has conducted research and written catalogues for Daniel Katz. In parallel, a lifelong passion for Japan has led her to write "The Art Lover's Guide to Japanese Museums", for which she received an award from the Japanese government in 2015. When she is not researching for Stuart Lochhead Sculpture, she consults on a variety of cultural projects in Japan.
