Langley — Life-Size Postmodern Welded Metal Butler Sculpture, Signed, c.20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bold, witty, and room-commanding original sculpture by \u003cstrong\u003eDavid C. Langley\u003c\/strong\u003e (American, 1927–2008) — a life-size welded metal figural work depicting a retro male butler in outline form, holding a tray with a martini glass. Painted in a vivid red, white, yellow, and black enamel palette. Signed by the artist to the back. Mounted on a black rectangular base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLangley's welded metal figures occupy a compelling space in American postmodern decorative sculpture — flat, graphic, and instantly readable from across a room, they function simultaneously as figurative art, interior accent, and deadpan humor. The butler subject is perfectly chosen: a figure of formal service rendered in the loose, irreverent language of Pop and postmodern design, standing nearly 76 inches tall and demanding attention wherever he's placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e David C.
