Each sculpture is hand carved from a single block of Vermont white pine and hand painted with ink and acrylic. No glue is used.There are no preliminary drawings.Carving a piece of wood into a bunch of newspapers, or books is hard enough, but using trompe l'oeil painting techniques, Randall Rosenthal manages to make his works look just like the real thing.
His "Lunch Money" sculpture, representing stacks of hundred dollar bills in a corrugated cardboard box took six weeks to carve and another six to finish painting. Art lovers had to pay $25,000 to get their hand on that kind of wooden cash.
