“Doc” Holliday sculpture exclusively at Arlene’s

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Adam Klein

We are excited to announce the we are going to be the exclusive retailer to offer a one-half life-size bronze of John “Doc” Holliday! The name of the sculpture is “I’m your huckleberry..” This bronze is created by internationally collected and nationally acclaimed artist Larry Gay. Some of Larry’s other works can be found in the permanent collection of the Charlie Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana.

This sculpture was based upon the iconic “Tombstone” movie from 1993. As you may remember, Val Kilmer played “Doc” Holliday in the movie. This captures the essence of the look of the character from the movie.

“I’m your huckleberry…” is limited to an edition of 17. It is available in the patina you see pictured in the post, as well as in a colored patina. The colored picture is available upon request if you are interested in a purchase. There are 16 pieces remaining in the edition, and the edition will include both patina choices to make up the total of seventeen. We currently have #1 in the store, and is the one pictured.

The retail price on this is $15,800. It is approximately 38″ tall and the base is about 14″ wide. The base is mesquite wood, inlaid turquoise, and faux silver. Approximated weight is 50-55 pounds. You can pick the number you would like, other than #2. If you choose to order one that we do not have in the store, the piece takes 10 weeks to create, and then will be shipped directly to you.

To be one of the few to have this gorgeous sculpture in your home, contact us today! You can’t find it online, and only available through Arlene’s. The piece will be advertised in the national edition of The Tombstone Epitaph.

We have it prominently displayed in Arlene’s Gallery at 415 E. Allen St. Please call 520-457-3833 or email us at info@arlenesgallery.com for additional information.

Again, you will find the unexpected at Arlene’s!

Rare Legends Sculptures from Chris Pardell!

Posted on August 14, 2016 by Adam Klein

We have been very fortunate to come across five of the Legendary West Premiere Edition sculptures, from Legends, by Christopher Pardell. These are made by Legends, known today as Starlite Originals. The pieces are the mixed media collectors items that made this company very famous in the 1980s and 1990s. Mixed media includes bronze, pewter, gold (small amounts), brass, and other metals. Legends was one of the first companies to add color to their mixed media items to bring them to life. The color is not paint, but comes from chemical reactions! All items were made in the U.S.A.

Christopher Pardell is well known for his depictions of Native American images and people.

“Triumphant” and “Red Cloud’s Coup” are pictured, but we have three others as well. Three of these five are signed by Chris. The signed pieces are “Triumphant”, “Red Cloud’s Coup”, and “Final Charge”. We also have “Pursued” and “Songs of Glory”.

All 5 of these items sold out immediately when released in 1988-1992.

These items came from a store that closed years ago, and the owner of the store no longer wanted them. We do not purchase previously sold pieces from collectors.

If you want pictures, or prices, please email us at arlenes@theriver.com, or call our Southwest Trading location at 520-457-3678.

These items rarely become available, so if you have an interest in Native American themed sculpture, these are perfect to add to your collection.
