27. Erotic Penis Cane-Ca. 1970-Unique piece by Ivaan of Toronto. The silver penis handle is delicately modeled in filigree technique and heavy cast in sterling silver, rosewood shaft and a horn ferrule. On the website of the deceased Ivaan Kotulsky (1944-2008) it is recorded that the artist created this handle in three singular variations. He sold the first example to Salvador Dali, the second offered here went to Ulrich Klever and the third was kept by the artist for his personal use. Ulrich Klever took great pride in this cane and illustrated it in his second book “Spazierstöcke” which was published in 1984, page 214, Nr. 350. -H. 4” x 1 ¾”, O.L. 38 ¼”--Ivaan Kotulsky once said that his entire life has been a journey towards freedom.-From his early childhood in rural Alberta to the bohemian years in his atelier on Toronto’s Yonge Street; from his heady turn as an award-winning photojournalist to his single-minded determination to forge a life creating metal art, Ivaan managed, with exceptional style, to reject the conventions and expectations of his immigrant community, while maintaining ties to family, faith and heritage.-Inspired by Lalique and Guimard, but especially by the artists of the Renaissance, Ivaan made objects of incredible beauty in gold, silver, bronze, copper, pewter, platinum and steel, as well as his personal blend of steel and chrome.
