Hello List,

 

I am researching price options for a bust (upper chest and head) to be placed in a public building. I know the interested party has $25k to spend for the creation of the bust and base, as well as administrative costs. I’m concerned that $15k may not be enough to design, create, transport and install the bust. Here are my questions…

 

§  What can I reasonably expect to get for $25k, minus 10k for the marble base and administrative costs? Bronze, marble, concrete? Size?

§  If I want to aim for a 24 x 24 inch bronze bust on a Tennessee marble base about 44-46 inches tall, what seems a reasonable cost?

§  Okay, and if I am looking at a 24 x 24 inch marble bust on a Tennessee marble base about 44-46 inches tall, what seems a reasonable cost?

 

Thanks so much for any comments; I know the information is pretty vague.
