Paolo Boni (Italian, 1926-2017) "Glyphe" travertine sculpture h. 28-1/2", w. 16", d. 10-1/4" Provenance: Musee Grimaldi, Antibes, France, August, 1965; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana. Notes: "In the Grimaldi Museum at Antibes, which is undoubtedly one of the finest small museums you could find anywhere, there is an exhibit of Boni, an Italian sculptor who, like everybody else spends six months in Paris and lives in Vallauris during the summer. We got one of his works in travertine and had a chance to meet him and his family - his wife turns out to be from Cleveland, Ohio. Boni has exhibited in America and his works have been purchased by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Boston Fine Arts Museum. Monsieur le Conservateur, curator of the Grimaldi Museum, age 76, is quite a powerful figure and personally arranges all the exhibitions. I attempted to take a picture of him but have not been successful so far." - Thomas B. Lemann Travel Journals, Antibes, 1965
