About the Item

Horse Rider, Bronze sculpture on marble base, signed, edition 1/6. Heriberto Juárez (March 16, 1932 – August 26, 2008) was a self-taught Mexican sculptor, known for his depictions of women and animals, especially bulls. As a youth he wanted to be a bullfighter but gave this up when he found he could sell figures he made. While never formally trained, he had over seventy individual exhibitions of his work in Mexico and the United States and his work can be found in prominent public and private collections. Although he had no formal artistic training, he did learn from sculptor Juan Soriano and from a carver named Juan de la Cruz.
