We have had a wonderful time trying to track down information on this bronze of a young girl that was made by Glenna Goodacre early in her career.  The current owners purchased it from Forrest Fenn at Fenn Galleries in Santa Fe in 1978, so we consulted Nedra Matteucci Galleries because Matteucci purchased Fenn Galleries and its records.  When we told the gallery who the purchaser had been, they verified from Fenn records that the bronze was sold to that couple in 1978.  

 

Glenna Goodacre (1939-present) signatureWhen we attempted to find out the official title, where the bronze was cast and any other information regarding it, we were told that it was not included in the Catalog Raisonné of Goodacre’s work because it was unknown and overlooked at the time of compilation of the catalog.  Matteucci Galleries was not aware that it existed, but based on the low number that were castonly 15in 1978 and because it was sold by Fenn, then they acknowledged its existence.  It is official and it was made by Glenna Goodacre, we just do not know its official title but “Little Girl Dancing” seems to describe it accurately. We appreciate the assistance provided by Nedra Matteucci staff.

 

The bronze is stamped Goodacre and numbered 6/15.  The wood base measures 3-7/8” x 3-7/8” x 5” tall. 

 

Condition: original condition

Provenance: from the collection of a family from Indiana who purchased it in 1978
