Bring home a whimsical piece of American collectible art with this signed 1984 Ron Lee Dentist Clown sculpture, a charming example of the artist’s imaginative occupational-themed clown series.
Hand painted and mounted on a substantial natural onyx base, the cheerful clown proudly displays an oversized molar held in gleaming 24K gold-plated dental forceps while carrying a classic dental mirror and toothbrush. Rich colors, expressive facial features, and meticulous detailing capture the humor and craftsmanship that made Ron Lee one of America’s most recognized collectible sculptors during the 1980s.
Unlike many traditional circus-themed Ron Lee sculptures, this uncommon dentist-themed design offers a unique crossover appeal for collectors of Ron Lee artwork, vintage clown sculptures, medical and dental memorabilia, or distinctive décor for a dental office, reception area, or private collection.
The sculpture is hand signed “Ron ’84” on the front of the natural onyx base, confirming its authenticity and making it a wonderful addition to any Ron Lee collection.
