An award-winning sculptor as judged by Westword magazine and receiving Best of Show at Scottsdale, Mark Lundeen's work is in public placements such as the Ballpark at Arlington and Statuary Hall at the nation's capitol building, even in the Baseball Hall of Fame. His whimsical figures such as Monkey Business have captured the stories and emotions of the characters he depicts in bronze.

Born in Holdredge, Nebraska, after graduation at the University of Nebraska he toured Europe studying the great masters before opening his sculpting studio in Loveland, Colorado. His sculpture has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Southwest Art Magazine and Newsweek among other noted publications. This life-size sculpture of an organ grinder and his monkey has a light brown patina and is situated on a sturdy oval bronze and marble base.
