About the Item
"Los Caballos en la Conquista (Horses in the Conquest)" is a Contemporary abstract Ceramica Suro slip cast remnants, glaze, and firing plate sculpture by Walead Beshty in 2013. The artwork is 9 1/2 x 32 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches and, with the frame, is 14 x 33 x 22 1/2 inches.
Los Caballos en la Conquista is part of a ceramic series created with Cerámica Suro in Guadalajara, where Beshty engages with themes like labor, colonial history, and artistic legacy, drawing influence from the city's cultural and political landscape. Shaped from leftover ceramic molds, the sculptures reference the expressive, fractured forms in José Clemente Orozco’s murals, establishing a symbolic dialogue with Mexico’s turbulent past and the traditions of Mexican Muralism.

Sherry Owens
Almost a Symphony, 2019
Bronze, patina, brass nails, paint
16 5/8 x 12 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches
For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials.
Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
