Armani Giuseppi statue w/no color? Thoughts on large, heavy metal abstrct art?

Found these yesterday at a local thrift store.
The first I believe is by Armani Giuseppi (it has the initials A.G.) but when I googled - and found - "Girl with large friendly dog" I saw it was with colors & mine has none? It is also a limited edition I believe & mine has what looks like it could be a series number from a limited edition - but why no colors? Is it real - ir maybe a knock off?
The 2nd one is by Justin Coopersmith - what should I call it? Hanging metal abstract?
Any thoughts on it? (If nothing I may toss it - it's heavy as heck & big; it takes a lot of room!
Thanks for any help.

 

Justin Cooper Smith is still in business and offers similar mixed media hanging sculptures. You might want to ask. (And, in the meantime, don't toss it!)

Plastic resin statue..eh. The junk art is cool in the right place.

I wonder if that's correct. There is a Giuseppe Armani, but he signs his pieces G. Armani. Why would he sign A.G.?

There is another sculptor named Arnaldo Gianelli, but he signs his pieces A Gianelli, and I'm not finding this under his name.

 

I didn't see the initials either as a signature - and none in just white, which made me bring it here. If it is a knock off they must have the mold because it is close!

 

@journeymagazine , the girl's eyes are closed on yours. Odd. Just odd.
Please let us know what you find about this, if it's a knock-off, or a mold manipulation, or a prototype?

 

I don't think they're closed; they just appear to be because they're not painted.

Debora, yes, I think you are right, thanks!

 

Journey-As far as the J. Coopersmith wall piece,look up 'Funk Art' on Google Images.
You may have just made yourself a few bucks,although you may not get the same prices a Gucci gallery does in West Palm-even if you made $500-$1000,more pickin' loot for you,or-You could buy a tankful of gas !
