New Patty Bigfoot Replica
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 22nd, 2009
The artist Richard Klyver has designed a new version of his famed Patterson-Gimlin sculpture in a more collectible size, for under $100.
Klyver’s new replica has these measurements: height – 12 1/2 inches tall, base length – 8 1/2 inches, and width 3 inches. The material used to create it is polyurethane plastic and the edition number is limited to 50, with each signed with Dick Klyver’s initials.
Klyver’s flowing, moving model is viewable in the four photos directly below:
Klyver’s new, smaller version of Patty is modeled after his larger solid bronze one, shown below. The large edition comes in a count of ten only. Those are $5000 each. The smaller pieces come in a limited edition, as well, and are $95 each.
The piece weighs two and a half pounds. The finish is a prime coat with three coats of lacquer with an oil paint glaze. Shipping is included anywhere in the continental USA. If interested, please contact Klyver at [email protected] to talk to him about PayPal or snail mail check payment.
The following shows retired Pennsylvania art professor Richard Klyver’s bronze sculpture, which is permanently housed at the International Cryptozoology Museum. Klyver created the Bigfoot art object, needless to say, from his sense of the living Sasquatch shown in the Patterson-Gimlin footage.
The sculpture (and me) are pictured below, at the Mass Monster Mash, on October 12, 2007, in a photograph by Don Keating. Used with his permission.
Thanks to Dick Klyver for there will be 10% donation of the purchase price to the International Cryptozoology Museum.
