Wire Wall Murals by Bart Soutendijk
How I price my work
I price my wire wall sculptures by size – about 87 cents (US) per square inch. Large pieces are expensive; small ones , inexpensive. Here are a few examples.
9 gauge (5/32nd inch diameter) wire:
Beached, 16 X 30 inches, 9 gauge wire, $580
Nude, 20 X 36 inches, 9 gauge wire, $725
Dancers, 45 X 48 inches, 9 gauge wire, $1,500
Fun Run, 43 X 355 inches, 9 gauge wire, $10,000
12 gauge (3/32nd inch diameter) wire:
Beach Walker, 24 X 9 inches, 12 gauge wire, $250
Cowboy Race, 24 X 40 inches, 12 gauge wire, $600
Jazz Procession, 24 X 96 inches, 12 gauge wire, $2,500
Each of the wire wall murals I make is a one-of a kind original.
Although most of the wire wall sculptures (single characters) I make will fit inside a space that is about 25 X 48 inches, I also make groups of single characters that run from 4 to 100 feet in length --I call these murals. I make them out of 5/32-inch (9 gauge) steel wire that I weld and powder-coat black. Each character is designed to hang from a single loop.

I also make smaller versions of sculptures using a thinned wire. The smaller murals (ready to hang) are generally 12 to 24 inches high and are made of 3/32-inch (12 gauge) wire.
