 Deborah Butterfield: Horses
September 17–December 11, 2005
Deborah Butterfield: Horses, features twelve evocative sculptures of horses in bronze, steel, and mixed media by the internationally acclaimed Montana sculptor. Most of the pieces are from Deborah Butterfield's personal collection: they have rarely, if ever, been seen by the public. Butterfield's horses have been the single sustained focus of her work for over 30 years.
A DVD entitled Deborah Butterfield: Dialogue with the Artist showing the artist at work in her Montana and Hawaii studios, and a step-by-step overview of the bronze casting process at the Walla Walla Foundry, will also be on view. The exhibition is accompanied by the book Deborah Butterfield, the first major survey of the artist's work and career, by Robert Gordon. This exhibition was organized by the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana.
