- 1980 BETTY GOLD IRON MAQUETTE FOR MUSEUM
1980 BETTY GOLD IRON MAQUETTE FOR MUSEUM OUTDOOR WORKBetty Gold (American, b. 1935). Iron maquette for Holistic Image VIII, 1980. A Betty Gold maquette for her monumental sculpture "Holistic Image VIII" which was originally owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art and is currently located in front of the Danville, Indiana Town Hall. Gold has been creating such abstract sculptures inspired by geometry, space, order, and form since the 1970's - with her oeuvre ranging from tabletop pieces and maquettes like this example to monumental installations throughout the world. In this maquette, Gold not only masterfully envisioned and modeled the form in space, she also intentionally left the piece in its raw state to oxidize to a rich patina. What's more, the warm russet hues conjure classical references, despite the fact that the form is cutting edge modern. An outstanding work by a prestigious sculptor who has works in more than 75 permanent collections and has exhibited in more than 130 solo and group exhibitions. Size: 16" L x 16.25" W x 15.875" H (40.6 cm x 41.3 cm x 40.3 cm)
The outdoor sculpture entitled "Holistic Image VIII" modeled upon this maquette is a monumental steel geometric abstract public artwork that also consists of a triangle bisected by a pentagon form with a C-shaped negative cutout on the right proper side, and a pronounced curvilinear C-form intersecting the left proper front face. First owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art and currently gracing the Town Hall of Danville, Indiana, it stands 16 feet tall and 16 feet wide. Of course, this maquette is a much more manageable scale.
Betty Gold studied at the Octavio Medellin Sculpting School in Austin, Texas (1959-1964) and the Texas Trade Welding School in Dallas, Texas (1966-1970). Born in Austin, Texas, Ms. Gold has lived in Mexico City, Dallas, Los Angeles, Aspen, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Venice, California, and currently has a home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has received many honors including: Honorary Degree of Humane Letters from Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia (2014); XAM's Artist of the Year in Mallorca, Spain (2014) - Betty was the second woman to receive this award; numerous government commissions including Presidential Garden, Bratislava, Slovakia, Gift of the U.S. Embassy, Monumental Sculpture, "Tiron IV" (2002); Universiada '99, Ajuntament de Palma de Mallorca, Spain, "Tiron 1" (1999); Ronald Reagan State Judiciary Courthouse, Los Angeles, California, Monumental Fountain, "Redwood Moonrise" (1989); and International Olympic Workshop, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Olympic Village, Seoul, South Korea, "Kaikoo Series" (1987); Ms. Gold has been granted countless Artist in Residencies and given dozens of lectures throughout the world; and her works are in many elite institutions including Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia – Madrid, Spain; Austin Art Museum – Austin, TX; Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma – Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Villas Buenaventura Sculpture Garden – San Juan, Cosala, Mexico; Milwaukee Museum – Milwaukee, WI; National Museum of Contemporary Art – Seoul, South Korea; Oakland Museum of California – Oakland, CA; Phoenix Art Museum – Phoenix, AZ; New Orleans Museum of Art – New Orleans, LA; Indianapolis Museum of Art – Indianapolis, IN; Orange County Museum of Art – Newport Beach, CA; Archer M. Huntington Gallery - University of Texas – Austin, TX; Georgia Museum of Art – University of Georgia – Athens, GA; Birmingham Museum of Art – Birmingham, AL; The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History– Albuquerque, NM; Art Museum of South Texas – Corpus Christi, TX; California Museum of Art Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks, CA; just to name a few.
In 2016, an independent, full length feature film entitled "A Year with Betty Gold" - directed and produced by Professor J. McMerty of Elon University - provided a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Gold's body of work. The film was a 2016 Academy Award Nominee. In the film there is a wonderful moment when Gold describes her process, "My whole life is about order, form, and shape, and geometry. The sculptures come from one rectangle of steel, because that's how you sell steel. That's how you buy it, by the rectangles. .. Whenever I get to playing about making models, I have an idea, and then it's like making sisters of that one shape. You know, you can take that shape and then say, oh, I think I'll turn that wrong side out and make something else. I make about 50, and I throw them all away but maybe about 7 or 8 that I really like, and I cull down, and then that is a series." ("A Year with Betty Gold, 2016 - a film)
Betty Gold's Artist Statement: "My inspiration comes from many directions, experiences and channels, but my work always begins with the simple act of folding paper. I create a flat, rectangular structure, deconstruct the parts and reassemble them into the whole, then create a set of drawings and geometric models based on the linear geometry of rotating movement."
"From a basic set of shapes, I design several different models - or maquettes – then build them in steel and choose which piece integrates best into the commissioned landscape. The maquette also provides the visual and architectural reference needed to scale the work to its monumental dimensions. I still continue to personally oversee construction and site preparation for each of my installations to ensure the rigid-quality standards I’ve upheld throughout my 45-year career as a professional artist."
"My continuing goal is to create art that brings a sense of joy and imaginative flight to those who engage with it, and that will endure long into the future. I also hope to motivate, represent, and inspire more women sculptors to assert themselves into the competitive art market, where they’ve yet to become dominant members."
The monumental version of this piece was published in "Betty Gold Retrospectiva." Casal Solleric, Ajuntament de Palma, Spain (2005) p. 20 in addition to "Betty Gold: Permanent Installations Monumental Sculpture" p. 18. A copy of the latter catalogue as well as the artist's impressively extensive resume which opens with a few quotes from the artist. Here is a statement in which Betty Gold discusses her maquettes, "Based on a flat rectangular structure, I deconstruct the whole and reassemble the pieces into one. From a basic set of shapes a small number of models, or maquettes, are constructed in steel. The maquettes provide a visual and architectural reference for what can then be scaled to monumental dimensions."

In 2016, an independent, full length feature film entitled "A Year with Betty Gold" - directed and produced by Professor J. McMerty of Elon University - provided a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Gold's body of work. The film was a 2016 Academy Award Nominee. In the film there is a wonderful moment when Gold describes her process, "My whole life is about order, form, and shape, and geometry. The sculptures come from one rectangle of steel, because that's how you sell steel. That's how you buy it, by the rectangles. .. Whenever I get to playing about making models, I have an idea, and then it's like making sisters of that one shape. You know, you can take that shape and then say, oh, I think I'll turn that wrong side out and make something else. I make about 50, and I throw them all away but maybe about 7 or 8 that I really like, and I cull down, and then that is a series." ("A Year with Betty Gold, 2016 - a film)
Betty Gold's Artist Statement: "My inspiration comes from many directions, experiences and channels, but my work always begins with the simple act of folding paper. I create a flat, rectangular structure, deconstruct the parts and reassemble them into the whole, then create a set of drawings and geometric models based on the linear geometry of rotating movement."
"From a basic set of shapes, I design several different models - or maquettes – then build them in steel and choose which piece integrates best into the commissioned landscape. The maquette also provides the visual and architectural reference needed to scale the work to its monumental dimensions. I still continue to personally oversee construction and site preparation for each of my installations to ensure the rigid-quality standards I’ve upheld throughout my 45-year career as a professional artist."
"My continuing goal is to create art that brings a sense of joy and imaginative flight to those who engage with it, and that will endure long into the future. I also hope to motivate, represent, and inspire more women sculptors to assert themselves into the competitive art market, where they’ve yet to become dominant members."

- HARRY JACKSON BRONZE - "WASHAKIE II"
HARRY JACKSON BRONZE - "WASHAKIE II" (1981)Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011). "Washakie II / Second State" bronze on a stone base, 1981. Edition 6 of 50. Foundry stamp, signature, date, and edition number on bronze. Brass plaque reading "WASHAKIE SECOND STATE HARRY JACKSON" on stone base. A magnificent bronze sculpture skillfully rendered in the round by Harry Jackson, one of America's most distinguished Western artists. Jackson depicted Washakie, an important leader of the Shoshone people during the 19th century who led the Shoshones to meetings of the Treaty of Fort Laramie, mounted upon his agile steed and donning a grand feathered headdress. Jackson not only captured this horse and rider in a lifelike manner, but also delineated the surfaces of the figures as well as the land below with his signature expressive manner. An elegant homage to Chief Washakie - respected for both his prowess on the battlefield and his negotiations toward peace - by Harry Jackson, an artist who dedicated himself to preserving the history and lore of the Old West in his art. Size: 15.5" W x 18.4" H (39.4 cm x 46.7 cm); 20.25" H (51.4 cm) on included custom stand.
About the artist: "Harry Jackson grew up in Chicago and had two passions: drawing and horses. At age fourteen, he hopped on a freight train to Cody, Wyoming, to become a cowboy. He served as a combat artist for the Marines in World War II, and when he returned, studied art under the GI Bill. After a stint as a radio actor and narrator, he moved to New York City, where he belonged to a circle of abstract expressionist painters including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Grace Hartigan, to whom he was married for a time. In the early 1950s, Jackson traveled to Europe, where he studied the Old Masters, and although he continued to appreciate abstract art, his own work from this time on was representational. He is most noted for his bronze sculptures that tell stories of the Old West." (Smithsonian American Art Museum website)
Harry Jackson's art is in prestigious collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado; Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Wyoming; the Meeteetse Museum, Wyoming; University of Wyoming; Wyoming State Museum; American Museum In Britain, Bath, England; Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, California; and the Lyndon B.
