Please contact me for more information. I am thinking that it might be an appropriate purchase for a large Texas car dealer or rancher. |

| This sculpture was originally designed with the rider being bucked off the back of the bull; that is, placed lower and forward from the back. I then changed the relationship so that the rider is spinning off to “heaven”. I see this as his ultimate ride. Notice that there is an armadillo observing the spectacle. Notice, also, that it (the sculpture) is designed in planes. This has the possibilities of being a model for the sculpture being made in a grand scale, welded out of sheets of “Cor-Ten” steel or bronze. (See the Lacrosse Players and Gambrinus, King of Beer on my website.) Notice that it was redesigned in this form in 1985. This sculpture has not found a home because it doesn't have the style of “western art”, (for those that want that); and also, it seems that those who like a less traditional approach to their art are not so interested in rodeo subjects. (I taught in Texas when I made this.) |

This sculpture, I believe, is very special; i.e., unusual, and a good likeness of the great architect. This is the only sculpture that I have planned in a larger edition than ten. In this case—twenty-six. The original (prototype) was made in 1990. I have sold fourteen. As with all of my sculptures, I seldom place them in galleries but contact people that I think might be interested. |
