The bust of Andres Bonifacio, created by National Artist Guillermo Tolentino, is set for auction by Leon Gallery, starting at P400,000. The sculpture, a life-like representation of the 'Father of the Katipunan', is part of historian Ambeth Ocampo's collection and was featured on 'Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho'. It stands at 29 inches tall and 12 inches wide, made with materials similar to those used in the creation of the famous Andres Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan City.
Isa sa mga sikat na obra ng pinakaunang Pambansang Alagad ng Sining o National Artist para sa Eskultura na si Guillermo Tolentino ang Andres Bonifacio Monument na makikita sa Caloocan City . Ang eskultor, isa rin umanong espiritista na nagawang makaugnayan ang kaluluwa ni Bonifacio kaya niya nalikha ang mga obra ng bayani.
"According to the widow of Tolentino, espiritista si Tolentino, nag-i-spirit of the glass siya. Dumadalaw si Bonifacio sa mga panaginip ni Tolentino. Kaya that monument and this bust is completely life-like," sabi ni Guerrero-Nakpil. "Totoo rin 'yon, but city boy kasi siya. So apart from the itak may revolver siya. But I can imagine, dahil ang revolution nag-start ng August na super, siguro natanggal na super bombed up, siguro natanggal na ang mga botas, na roll up na 'yung trousers niya. I think that's what Tolentino saw," paliwanag ni Guerrero-Nakpil.
Makikita sa naturang selyo ang mga salitang "Mataas na Sanggunian," at "Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan." Mayroon itong baybayin sa gitna na "KA" na nangangahulugang katipunan, kalayaan at kapayapaan.
