black patina bronze, cast in 1951 in an unnumbered edition of six Sotheby's, New York . The theme of the horse and rider has dominated Marini's work since the 1930's. Such theme presents firmly seated heroic figures, sometimes with outstretched arms in exultation, others seemingly despondent, exhausted. By the 1950's, however, the same subjects became charged with a wild almost uncontrolled energy. This work carried a US $ 500,000 to 700,000 pre-sale estimate. |
