  We have never been more excited about this collection. Loet’s art bridges the world of realism and modern in his creations,”

  BATTLE GROUND, WASHINGTON, USA, August 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Mark Russo, CEO and Founder of Treasure Investments Corporation, successfully negotiated the acquisition and purchase of 322 master molds created by the World-Famous sculpture artist Loet Vanderveen. The purchase included not only all the master molds of Loet’s creations but all reproduction and marketing rights. Vanderveen bronze collections can be seen and purchased in over 24 high-end fine art gallery locations throughout the United States and several in Europe. “We are excited about casting some of Loet’s pieces in pure silver and also enlarging many of the works to live size and larger,” says Mark Russo.

  Treasure Investments Corporation just took possession of the mold collection and has already begun casting pieces in bronze to resupply the demand from the existing gallery locations. Treasure Investments will look to expand the Vanderveen collections to its 95 gallery partners and beyond.

  “We have never been more excited about this collection. Loet’s art bridges the world of realism and modern in his creations,” says Jason Dilling, President of Sales for Treasure Investments.

  Loet Vanderveen was born in Rotterdam, Holland. His home was very close to the zoo where, during his early years, Loet spent a great deal of his time. During this period in life, he developed his love for animals.  At night, listening to the sound of wild animals in the zoo, he would fantasize about safaris to Africa. Fantasies, which were eventually realized!  Hours before the bombardment of Rotterdam, the Dutch army was ordered to destroy all of the dangerous species in the zoo. The animals were destroyed, as well as his home, and these events led Loet into a new phase in his life. He escaped from occupied Holland, and upon his arrival in England, he was decorated for valor by Queen Wilhelmina. He served in the RAF during the war. During the first eleven years following the war, he lived in Zurich, London, and New York working as a fashion designer. He was not satisfied with his profession and a meeting with Fong Chow, then curator of the Far Eastern Department of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, led to private ceramic studies with Fong for the next three years. He learned a great deal about Chinese glaze techniques and applying fine glazes to the correct forms. This knowledge eventually led to applying patinas to bronze animal forms. Loet Vanderveen sculpture designs are enhanced by a rich palette of subtle patinas offering uniquely stylized interpretations appreciated by distinguished worldwide collectors.

• Mark Russo Unveils an Original Pure Silver Michelangelo Sculpture Entitled "Battle of the Centaurs” (Jan 12, 2024)

  On July 13th Of 2023, Mark Russo, CEO and the Executive Staff of Treasure Investments Corporation, Unveiled an Original Pure Silver Michelangelo...

  — Mark Russo, CEO & Founder, Treasure Investments Corp

  BATTLE GROUND, WASHINGTON, USA, August 28, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The “Battle of the Centaurs” is a relief sculpture by the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo, created around 1492. It was the last work Michelangelo created while under the patronage of Lorenzo de Medici, who died shortly after its completion. Inspired by a classical relief created by Bertoldo di Giovanni, the marble sculpture represents the mythic battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs. A popular subject of art in ancient Greece, the story was suggested to Michelangelo by the classical scholar and poet Poliziano. The sculpture is exhibited in the Casa Buonarroti in Florence, Italy.

  Battle of the Centaurs was a remarkable sculpture in several ways, presaging Michelangelo’s future sculptural direction. Michelangelo had departed from the then-current practices of working on a discrete plane to work multi-dimensionally. It was also the first sculpture Michelangelo created without the use of a bow drill and the first sculpture to reach such a state of completion with the marks of the subbia chisel left to stand as a final surface. Whether intentionally left unfinished or not, the work is significant in the tradition of the “non finito” sculpting technique for that reason. Michelangelo regarded it as the best of his early works and a visual reminder of why he should have focused his efforts on sculpture.

  The Battle of the Centaurs in pure silver is an original casting and is the only one in silver that will ever be created. It is numbered 1 of 1 and weighs 2,333 troy ounces of .999 fine silver. This is the second original Michelangelo to be cast in pure silver. In July of 2022, at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, Mark Russo, Steve Forbes (owner of Forbes Publishing), and Michael Sheppard unveiled Michelangelo’s Pietà original cast in over 20,000 ounces of pure silver as the single largest silver sculpture on earth.

   FreedomFest Memphis 2023 was an exceptional success. The event provided a platform for engaging in discussions, networking, and unveiling their latest masterpiece, “Battle of the Centaurs” by Michelangelo Buonarroti, in pure silver.

  FreedomFest has always held a special place in Treasure Investments Corporation's annual calendar, serving as the preferred stage to unveil their most significant projects, and received widespread acclaim and recognition for their commitment to excellence and innovation. The positive response from attendees further validated their dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining the world of bronze and precious metals sculptures.

  Mark Russo, CEO and Founder of Treasure Investments Corporation expressed his enthusiasm for participating in FreedomFest year after year. “FreedomFest has become our favorite event to connect with industry professionals, art enthusiasts, and potential investors. The vibrant atmosphere and dynamic discussions create the perfect backdrop to unveil our biggest projects and share our passion for bronze and precious metals,” he commented. Looking ahead to 2024, FreedomFest is scheduled to be in Las Vegas and Treasure Investments Corp is already making plans for its next masterpiece.
