“Homage à Steinway” sculptures in the garden at Tavern on the Green
6-foot marble "Emerald Sonata" and the 36-inch "Rhapsody" were exhibited at Tavern on the Green for two years, where several hundred thousand visitors enjoyed seeing and touching the artworks. The artworks embody a copyrighted sculptural oeuvre that combines two concepts - the iconographic silhouette of the Steinway concert grand with a lyrical undulating music waveform profile. It is a dynamic sculptural model that simultaneously depicts the piano as physical instrument and the musical sound waves it produces.
Fine art is usually a "hands off - look only" experience, but the piano sculptures invite touching and experiencing the smoothness and ethereal energy of 500 million year old marble. 10% of sculpture sales are donated to children's music programs.
The 36" Rhapsody may now be seen at Steinway Hall, 109 West 57 Street, NYC. The 6-foot marble Emerald Sonata may be seen at Steinway Offices in Long Island City, by appointment only. Contact Adrian Butash @ abutash2@aol.com further information.
“Homage à Steinway - Emerald Sonata” 6-foot marble, $99,800.
“Homage à Steinway - Rhapsody” 36” marble, $24,900.
