Giuseppe Armani Cheetah 2072S Sculpture 

Limited Edition 27 of 950

Made in Italy

I am offering up this  Giuseppe Armani Sculpture Cheetah item # 2072S. This item comes with the original box, COA, all original paperwork.   The item is 20" tall x 12-1/8" wide x 9" deep.  This item is in great condition but does have some flaws.  There are two little dings on it's back (see pictures) and the base has a few chips (see pictures) as well.   They are not at all noticeable when it's sitting out.  When I was looking at this item the seller had to point them out to me.  It has everything that was with it originally which is really rare.   Please see pictures as they are part of the description.

This is a really rare item.  Only 950 were made and it's very rare that they ever come up for sale.  It truly is a beautiful piece of art work and pictures do not do it justice.  It looks like it's going to climb down off the base at any moment.  

  

Because of the size and weight of this item I am offering local pick up.  Please only choose this if you are able to pick up this item.

History of this item:

This item, along with several others that I will be listing, was purchased from the sale of the contents of the estate/home place of Dorothy Cate and Thomas Frist, Sr.  Mr. Fritz was a well known Cardiologist and businessman in Nashville, TN.  He also co-founded Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the largest private operator of health facilities in the world.  These are only a couple of his accomplishments from a long list.  He and his wife had 5 children, 3 sons and 2 daughters.  His three sons were also physicians and one of those sons is the former Senator William "Bill"  Frist of Tennessee.  Thomas Frist, Sr died in 1988 and his wife Dorothy died in 1998 and a foundation was set up in their names and is still active today.  To say that they were special people is quite an understatement.  

Their beautiful home place contents were recently sold in Nashville and I was lucky enough to be able to get a fews pieces from that sale.  This is one of many that I will be listing.  Everything they had was the very top of the line so you won't be disappointed with these pieces. 

Please feel free to ask any questions but please ask before you purchase and not after.

About the Artist:

Giuseppe Armani, known for his realism and attention to detail in his artwork, he had "The Gift".  He always infused his sculptures with breathtaking realism....with a spark of life.  This continues to amaze his many admirers the world over even today. 

Giuseppe Armani passed away in 2006 and all his factories are now closed so these pieces are becoming quite rare and this one is another really nice and very elegant piece. As people are buying these pieces up, it is becoming more and more difficult to find these works of art in good condition.

Thank you for your interest.
