Beauty & the Beast
This was the winning sculpture in the 2007 "Tournament of Champions." This
"Grandmasters" competition held annually in British Columbia is
only open to previous medal winners from the past two decades of
the World Championships. The show featured 18 international teams
of two master sculptors, each. With this design, Rich Varano defended
his first place title (w/ Fralich 2006) by selecting Pavel Zadanyuk of Moscow, as his
partner. Zadanyuk is classically trained in the Russian school of art,
and he too, has also won countless other international awards. Specs: The sculpture was 33 tons, teen feet tall, and took five days to sculpt (68 man hours). An additional 16 man hours was needed for pre sculpting prep work. It was on display for four months, and won first place in this elite show. This provided Varano his second, first place victory in a row as world Grandmaster (undefeated since the event was created). [ HOME
