Of relevance to this lot is McElcheran’s celebrated project The Conversation (1981), sited at Stephen Avenue, in downtown Calgary. It is located directly in front of The Hudson’s Bay department store. That building has a series of evenly-spaced columns supporting three-arches that define a loggia. Our businessman paces through the covered colonnade, partly obscured by a pillar. A classical Roman warrior statue points his way. Does it humorously quote a side reference to the forms of the annunciation pictures of Fra Angelico? Fashioned in the time-honoured material of terracotta Walking Businessman and Three Arches is a handsome traditional bas-relief, a conflation of the modern and ancient world. Estimate: $6,000–8,000

Always attired in classic, tailored business suits and hats, his businessmen heroically carry on in their corporate world, bustling on their way to their next appointment. McElcheran imbues these archetypal figures with the irony and paradox of modern life, but, although they are robust figures full of vitality, there is something touching in their complete absorption in the rat-race of modern life that we can identify with.

      Est: $6,000 - $8,000

      William Hodd (Bill) McElcheran 1927 - 1999 Canadian bronze relief plaque The Crowd 17 x 17 x 3 inches 43.2 x 43.2 x 7.6 centimeters initialed, editioned A/P 2/3 and dated 1981 Provenance:Private Collection, Vancouver William McElcheran is well known for his iconic businessman images, portrayed individually, in small groups or in a crowd, as in this refined wall relief. He portrayed crowds in small-scale three-dimensional groups, editioned bronze wall reliefs or large-scale works such as the ceramic wall relief in the Dundas subway station in Toronto. McElcheran was a strong proponent of the integration of sculpture into architecture, and another crowd scene, a free-standing bronze relief, is installed at Toronto's John M. Kelly Library. Following a 1971 exhibition at Roberts Gallery that included relief works, a reviewer noted that McElcheran had studied Assyrian bas-reliefs, in which the position in society of the people portrayed was indicated by their clothing and posture. In The Crowd, the foreground figures are finely detailed, both men and women in their classic uniform of business, while in the background, detailing is indistinct and the figures anonymous. They march forward together, a symbol of progress and determination, radiating a quietly heroic stance in contrast to their conformity. Included with this lot is a plexiglass stand that measures 42 1/2 x 19 x 16 1/2 inches.

He started as a woodworker, specializing in art and furniture for churches. He rose to be chief designer for Bruce Brown and Brisely Architects, and worked on planning and designing 23 churches and university buildings. He formed Daedalus Designs in 1973, the purpose of which was integrating sculpture with architecture. His best-known sculpture subject is the iconic businessman, shown caught in the whirl of his corporate life. McElcheran depicted these businessmen as robust and self-possessed, constantly in movement. Their conformity is indicated by their classic dress of overcoat, hat, suit and tie, carrying various business paraphernalia such as briefcases. His viewpoint was both satirical and compassionate, drawing us to sympathize with them, as urbanites often feel caught in the bustle and roles of modern life. McElcheran's businessmen can be seen in many public installations across Canada and in the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan. In Toronto his businessmen are installed in Yorkville, on King Street, St. Clair Avenue and at the University of Toronto.

McElcheran had a unique ability to create sculptures that both compassionately and satirically convey the dynamic nature of the corporate world. Muse is a striking work which depicts McElcheran's classic briefcase-carrying businessman, with the inspired addition of an ethereal female figure adorning his shoulder. The two figures, their gazes locked in a sensitive, shared moment, represent the ordinary and the extraordinary. As exemplified in Muse, McElcheran was able to seamlessly infuse corporate culture with empathy a d humor, which made him one of Canada's most celebrated sculptors. This work was acquired directly from Bella Fishko, founder of the Forum Gallery in New York.

      William Hodd (Bill) McElcheran 1927 - 1999 Canadian bronze sculpture Passers By "21 x 13 x 7 inches 53.3 x 33 x 17.8 centimeters on verso editioned 1/4 on the Roberts Gallery label Provenance:Roberts Gallery, Toronto Private Collection, Ontario William McElcheran is well known for his humorous and sympathetic portrayal of the iconic inhabitants of the world of commerce, usually shown bustling ahead through their environs with their conformist dress code of suit, hat and briefcase. In this poignant sculpture, McElcheran's businessman casts a sidelong look at the blithe young woman floating by him, momentarily distracted by her beauty. The date is circa 1967, a time of great social change and contrast between the generations, adding another layer of meaning to this work. "

      Est: $12,000 - $16,000

      William Hodd (Bill) McElcheran 1927 - 1999 Canadian bronze sculpture Preoccupied 28 x 10 3/4 x 20 inches 71.1 x 27.3 x 50.8 centimeters initialed, editioned 8/9 and dated 1995 Provenance:Private Collection, Vancouver McElcheran regarded the businessmen that he so often portrayed in his work from both a satirical and compassionate viewpoint. Always attired in classic, tailored business suits and hats, his businessmen heroically carry on in their corporate world, bustling on their way to their next appointment. McElcheran imbues these archetypal figures with the irony and paradox of modern life, and although they are robust figures full of vitality, there is something touching in their complete absorption in the rat-race of modern life that we identify with.
