Arabesque en l’Air

This piece was inspired by a photograph of Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes in Frederick Ashton’s ballet ‘Sylvia’ being performed in Covent Garden in 1952. It was revived in 2004, shortly after the piece was completed, and is now regularly in the repertoire.

Working from a photograph was a challenge, but I have studied ballet dancers a great deal and managed to get a model in the studio to take up the Michael Somes pose.

The price will depend on the quotations obtained  from foundries, but is likely to be around £8,000.
