Dr. Arthur Williams (Texas, b. 20th century), two-part sculpture of solid marble pieces, with one piece depicting carved and polished bisected figural pelvis, and the other having carved mirrored negative space, signed   height 20.5 in. x width 18.5 in. x depth 8 in.  Provenance: Property from the collection of a San Antonio, Texas gentleman Dr. Arthur Williams is a Texas native, who was raised in a humble, and religious environment, with immediate dreams of becoming an artist. After receiving his masters in missions at Harding Graduate School, he took a drawing course at the University of Memphis, and found his way to sculpture and returned to Harding for a full education in the arts. Much of his work is abstract and non-objective, but early in his career he developed a reputation for realistic carvings and castings using the female form. Most of his work now resides in private collections across 25 states, with almost all of his own personal collection having been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
