About the Item

This is part of the series of American-made work boots that are a tribute to the American spirit. Onward and Forward shows a "Never Give Up" attitude that exemplifies the strength of that spirit. This piece is carved in Limestone and tinted with oil stains. Dimensions: 12"h X 8"w X 4"d American sculptor Robin Antar has been called “Brooklyn’s answer to Andy Warhol.” Her mission is to create a visual record of modern American culture through commonplace objects as she explores the question, “What is America?” Meticulously carved in stone, a hamburger with fries, an American-made work boot, denim jeans and a giant "Ballpark Frank" become lasting monuments to contemporary life. The series looks at America's past, present and future. Some of the logos, for example, are the older classic versions.
