David Altmejd - Pixie

Sold out

Pixie is a bronze multiple by Los Angeles-based artist David Altmejd. Born of British folklore, the pixie is a childlike creature fond of dancing and making mischief. Rendered in a golden bronze, this pixie, with its ragged garments lifted to reveal delicate limbs, seems to have been caught up in a breeze. Often depicted in fiction and folklore as malignant spirits, they are known to bestow favour or, equally, punishment, depending on their treatment by humans.

Please allow up to two months for production and an additional two weeks for shipping.

Courtesy Case Studyo

David Altmejd’s Pixie is a co-production between White Cube and Case Studyo, a specialist studio that collaborates with artists to produce unique, limited-edition objects. Released in advance of the opening of Altmejd’s solo exhibition at White Cube New York (14 March – 19 April, 2025), this ‘life-size’ bronze has been created as a companion to three larger sculptures of nymphs. Available in a limited edition of 15, the work was produced using the traditional and highly-skilled technique of lost wax casting.

‘Pixie is a spirit whose presence has been helpful in the studio, especially while I was working on a large-scale, chaotic sculpture. It carries a reassuring, energetic, and feminine presence. I was drawn to the pixie as a subject because it allowed me to sculpt a body on a very small scale - essentially a one-to-one scale, which, strangely, I had never done before. She accompanies the three life-sized bronze nymph figures - I like to think of her as a small-scale nymph.’

The Serpent

14 March – 19 April 2025

New York

Debuting a new large-scale installation alongside a series of busts and bronze sculptures, ‘The Serpent’ at White Cube New York marks the latest evolution in Canadian artist David Altmejd’s interrogation and upturning of nature’s sacred hierarchies – those intrinsic yet volatile structures through which order and chaos contend.
