About the Item

Presented is an original signed bronze sculpture by American artist Veryl Goodnight. The sculpture is called "Come Forth A Dream" and depicts four running horses, galloping together with free-spirited and unbridled energy. The patinated bronze was cast in 1987 in a very limited edition of only 25. This specific bronze is signed, dated, and numbered 19/25. Veryl Goodnight(b, 1947) is a celebrated contemporary American artist working in Southwest Colorado. Her studio ranch is situated between Durango and Mesa Verde National Park and the dramatic landscape, abundant wildlife, and fellow ranching community provide endless inspiration for her art. Her many years spent in the West, observing, painting, and sketching her surroundings, gave Goodnight a profound awareness of the mannerisms of ranchers and animals alike. This experience translates directly to her art. Goodnight has monumental sculptures across the United States, in Europe, and Japan. The most notable is “The Day The Wall Came Down,” a 14,000 pound bronze sculpture consisting of five larger than life size horses jumping over the fallen Berlin Wall. The United States Air Force flew this monument to Berlin, Germany in 1998 on the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift. It is now installed at the Allied Museum, with a sister casting at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas. In November 2019, a maquette of this sculpture was unveiled at the U. S. Air Force Academy, with installed sister maquette castings at the Central Intelligence Agency and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Goodnight is a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society and a member of the Society of Animal Artists. In 2016, Goodnight was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, for her decades long representation of the American West in art. Her work has been profiled in several books and art magazines. She has had shows at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, the Old West Museum in Cheyenne, the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, the Gilcrease Museum in Oklahoma City, the Cowgirl Hall of Fame Museum in Fort Worth, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole. Condition: Very good condition. Patinated cast bronze, on a wooden base. Signed, dated, and Numbered in bronze mold. Numbered 19/25. Attractive dark patina, with very little wear. Dimensions 17 1/2" H x 30" W x 16" D.

Vintage Cast-Iron Eagle Sculpture, Early 20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a cast-iron figural eagle doorstop, circa early 20th century. The eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, perched and mounted to a square marble base. The eagle retains traces of its original gilt surface and is embossed with “F.O.E.” at its midsection, possibly referring to the Fraternal Order of Eagles.   The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States...

Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture Entitled "Turning Arab" by Steve Winterburn
By Steve Winterburn
Located in London, GB
A very well modelled study of an Arab horse in full motion turning to his right, the bronze with good rich brown colour and fine hand chased detail, raised on a stepped oval black marble base, signed S Winterburn and numbered 1 of 6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION height: 41 cm width: 52 cm Condition: As New Condition Circa: 2010 Materials: bronze & marble SKU: 7631 ABOUT Steve Winterburn Steve Winterburn (born 1959, Coventry) is a self-taught artist whose creative development has been fuelled by his conviction, immense energy and curiosity. Possessing an innate comprehension of engineering and design enables him to explore his passion for challenge and experimentation. Steve began teaching himself to sculpt in 1994. With the progression of his sculpting an ambition emerged to personally shape each piece of his work from concept to completion. He had entrusted the casting of his earlier bronzes to the established foundries. But the delays in delivering his work became frustrating and he was disillusioned by the changes that resulted from not handling the finishing stages himself. In 2002 Steve moved to Yorkshire, in the north of England, and began converting the vast workshop next to his house into the current 9 room studio & foundry. It was here he started to experiment in order to gain an understanding of the entire process that is traditionally a closely guarded secret handed down between foundry men. The challenges included mastering mould making skills and the lost wax impression of the moulds from which a one off ceramic mould is made ready for the bronze pouring. Expanding his expertise with chasing the bronze, his ability to hand work the malleable surface and with the patina (colours). These stages are normally undertaken by a succession of different people, each skilled in their particular phase of the evolving sculpture. Involvement with a diversity of initiatives has taken Steve to India, Peru, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Australia and Ethiopia, sculpting people and animals. Steve has regularly exhibited with Hickmet Fine Arts at the internationally acclaimed LAPADA Fine Art and Antiques Fairs ( the highly prestigious UK Antiques Federation) and twice with The Wildlife Arts Society at the Westminster Gallery where in 1998 he won the award for best 3 dimensional piece. He has exhibited twice at the Royal Academy in London. Projects include developing designs for two statues...
