Episode 141, Host Dr. Mark Sublette, Art Dealer Diaries Podcast

“Star York is an amazing sculptor and an interesting human being. It's a fun podcast because you get a sense of how full of life and joy Star is, and how that translates into her sculptures. When you see her bronzes, you'll see the curiosity and the fun that comes through, especially with her horse and animal sculptures.”

  • CARE FOR YOUR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR BRONZE SCULPTURE

    Note that there is no foolproof protection from the elements. Patina will change overtime. Although indoor bronzes maintain their luster longer, both indoor and outdoor bronze sculptures need regularly scheduled maintenance both in the spring and fall. The steps are the following:

    1. Observation: While enjoying your bronze sculpture look for any signs of fading, dirt, staining or any other things that don't look right. It's best to take care of any problems before they get bad.

    2. Cleaning: It's good to blow any abrasive loose dirt off the sculpture first. A can of duster spray could be handy for that. Try not to rub any dirt that's abrasive into the patina. Wipe the sculpture down with a clean rag and rubbing alcohol. It's handy to attach a spray nozzle on the rubbing alcohol bottle so one can liberally spray the alcohol on the piece. Wipe the alcohol and dirt away. (Some say to use mild soap and water to clean the bronze sculptures. This can be done; however, I prefer rubbing alcohol since it dries quickly. For cleaning any nooks and crannies that can't be reached with a clean towel or rag, spray the alcohol vigorously into those hard-to-reach areas. A skinny, clean paint brush and a can of duster spray are also good tools to use for hard-to-reach areas. Let the sculpture dry.

    3. Sealing: Spray on a coat of "Clear Guard" Protective Lacquer. That nice new finish will start to come back. "Clear Guard" Protective Lacquer sealer at Sculpt Nouveau may be ordered at 1-800-728-5787.

    4. No Wax should ever be used on any outdoor sculpture that has been lacquered.

    That's it!
