Celebrate the artistry of renowned American sculptor Ron Lee with this charming High Wire Circus Clown sculpture, hand-signed and dated 1984.
Crafted in hand-painted cast metal with brilliant 24K gold-plated accents, the cheerful clown balances confidently on a suspended brass tightrope while holding a colorful circus umbrella overhead. The dramatic composition captures the excitement and whimsy of classic circus performances while showcasing Ron Lee’s signature attention to movement and detail.
Mounted on a polished natural onyx base with beautiful cream, caramel, and amber veining, the sculpture combines vibrant enamel colors with luxurious materials that have made Ron Lee’s work highly collectible for decades.
Ron Lee became internationally recognized for his handcrafted circus-themed sculptures, admired for their expressive characters, meticulous hand-painted finishes, and elegant use of precious metal accents. Signed examples from the 1970s and 1980s remain among the artist’s most sought-after works.
An excellent addition to a Ron Lee collection, vintage circus décor, whimsical interiors, or American decorative art.
