Lot 37: William Hodd (Bill) McElcheran 1927 - 1999

William Hodd (Bill) McElcheran 1927 - 1999 Canadian bronze sculpture Businessman 29 x 14 x 10 inches 73.7 x 35.6 x 25.4 centimeters signed, editioned 4/9 and dated 1995 Provenance:Private Collection, Vancouver William McElcheran was trained in sculpture at the Ontario College of Art, and in 1973 opened Daedalus Designs, which specialised in the integration of sculptures into buildings. Although his depictions of businessmen and women were often satirical, McElcheran clearly had respect and compassion for those caught up in the daily rat-race. In this sculpture, the generic businessman races through his day, as if he has no other concerns besides reaching his destination quickly and efficiently.
