Offered for sale is an exceptionally large and striking brass & bronze deer bust by renowned Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante. This is a signed and numbered limited edition example, 19/100, and represents one of the largest and most imposing sculptural formats Bustamante produced, far exceeding the scale of his more commonly encountered works.
Executed in brass and bronze with hand-assembled segmented construction, this sculpture exemplifies Bustamante’s iconic surrealist–folk aesthetic, blending whimsical form with bold, architectural presence. The antlers form a dramatic circular composition, while the stylized facial planes and expressive eye are hallmarks of the artist’s signature visual language.
The piece retains its original patina, consistent with age, which enhances the depth, warmth, and character of the metal. No polishing or restoration has been done — collectors will appreciate the authenticity and untouched surface.
This is a monumental wall-mounted sculpture intended as a focal statement piece, ideal for collectors of Latin American art, mid-century modern interiors, brutalist décor, or sculptural metalwork.
