About the Item

A very nice signed Herbert Kallem Bronze mounted on wood of a horse on a rider. I would date it to the 1960's stylistically. The artist lived from 1904-1994. It is an nice example of the artist's work and is signed in two places on the base pictured.
A couple of biographies from askart follow;

Born in Philadelphia, Herbert Kallem spent most of his career in New York City where he was active as a sculptor and art teacher at the School of Visual Arts and New York University. He studied at the National Academy of Design, Pratt Institute, and the Hans Hofmann School. Exhibition venues included the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Carnegie Institute.

He was a member of the Sculptors Guild, which he served as President from 1974 to 1976.

Biography from Butler's Fine Art:

Herbert Kallem, sculptor and teacher, was born 1909 in Philadelphia. Later he lived in New York City, East Hampton, NY, and Monhegan Island, Maine, where he was an important memher of the Post World War II New York artists who summered at the artist colony there. His father, Morris Kallem, was a portrait painter, and his brother, Henry Kallem, was also a noted artist of his time.

Herbert Kallem studied at the National Academy of Design, The Pratt Institute, and The Hans Hoffman School of Fine Art. He was President of The Sculptors Guild from 1974-76, and a member of The American Abstract Artists, The Audubon Society, and The American Federation of Arts. Kallem shared a studio on 28th Street in NYC with artist and actor, Zero Mostel, where a group of artists calling themselves "The 28th Street Gang" focused their New York community.

Herbert Kallem had exhibitions at The Whitney Museum Of American Art and The Carnegie Institute, and with The American Abstract Artists Group in New York, San Francisco, Paris, Rome, Tokyo and Copenhagen. He was head of the Foundation Day and Evening Sculpture Department at New York University and at The School of Visual Arts in NYC for many years.

Bronze "Byte" by noted Artist Jeff Day

By Jeff Day

Located in Palm Springs, CA

An immense and heavy bronze by the noted artist Jeff Day. he is currently in China but we managed to converse with him. He identified the work and the approximate year it was cast and how heard it was to make. He thinks he signed it although we can't find his mark. it is quite impressive and has a beautiful gold flecked patina. There is a fracture in the center small and hard to spot that occurred in the casting. This is a unique piece. There are some minor losses to the patina near the base and minor nicks and scratches. The base has been repaired in one corner. One other corner is missing the wood trim, pictured. The piece and shows its age with age appropriate wear.

Han Dynasty Polychromed Horse and Rider

Located in Dallas, TX

A fine Han dynasty polychrome painted terracotta horse and rider. The warrior is dressed in orange and black on a black horse. Measures: Height 14 inches (35 cm) Width 12.5 inches (32 cm). Condition: Excellent with tastefully undetectable repairs. During the unification of China under the Han dynasty, bands of mounted nomadic warriors from the north threatened the country. In order to thwart their attacks, the Chinese sought to import stronger, faster steeds from Central Asia (as opposed to the Mongol ponies used by the invaders), eventually leading to the creation of the Silk Road. This small sculpture of a mounted soldier reveals the crucial military role of the horse. When compared to the diminutive stature of the rider, the importance of the horse becomes readily apparent. This creature provided security and strength, allowing the empire to secure its borders and expand its influences across Central Asia. The magnificent regalia of the horse, including a brilliantly painted saddle in red and green/gold, reflect the respect this animal received. The warrior as well is gorgeously decorated with a painted red tunic and gray chest...
