white terracotta c. 16.5 x 12 x11 cm (6 1/2 x 4 3/4 x 4 3/8 in.) [excluding base] signed and dated with artist's signature cipher below neck PROVENANCEPrivate Collection, New YorkAlexander Ney survived the Leningrad Blockade during World War II. During the late 1950's and 1960's, amidst other prominent artists of the Nonconformist movement, Ney stood apart by his staunch individualism, in refusing to belong to any group or movement in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Regardless, his unique aesthetic vision left a marked effect on others, and his "indirect influence can be seen in the works of artists of his generation" (A. Kosolapov, A-Ya Journal, No. 5). He emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972 to France, and settled in the United States in 1974.
