Beautiful vintage pair of Austin Collection whale sculptures, both dated 1990 and measuring approximately 21.5 inches long.
Each whale features bold black, cream, and deep red graphic decoration with a striking Northwest Coast / tribal-inspired design. The two pieces coordinate beautifully but feature different artwork and different credited names on the underside:
* Cream whale marked “© Austin Collection 1990” and “Anna V.”
* Black whale marked “© Austin Collection 1990” and “E. Medina”
These are substantial statement pieces with a distinctly postmodern / vintage 1990s look. They display especially well together and appear to be an uncommon Austin Collection design that is difficult to find on the secondary market.
Condition:
Overall very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate surface wear. The black whale has one small localized area of surface cracking/crazing with slight lifting in the finish, shown clearly in the photos. The damage is limited to that area and does not appear to be a major structural break. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the condition description.
Original underside markings and older inventory labels remain intact.
Approximate size: 21.5” long 4” tall each
Sold as a matching pair.
A great addition to a collection of vintage Austin Productions/Austin Collection sculpture, postmodern décor, coastal décor, whale art, or large statement pieces.
