Depicting an abstracted equestrian being, executed in a brutalist style and composed of numerous intersecting welded iron rods with leaded glass panes forming the body of the horse. Provenance: Marlborough Gallery, New York, 2005; From the Estate of Gary Fink. Gary C. Fink was a collector with both a lighthearted sense of humor and a serious commitment to art. Through the Museum Louvre It or Leave It, he offered Minnesotans an offbeat, thought-provoking experience; through MIA gifts, he broadened institutional collections; and through his scholarship, he continues to enable the next generation of artists. A Renaissance soul in the heart of Minnesota's art community, Gary C. Fink was more than an astute collector - he was a spirited patron whose unconventional vision left an indelible mark on the creative landscape. Height: 43 3/4 in x width: 23 in x depth: 13 in. Condition: To some of the triangular glass panes, there are cracks, noticeable upon close inspection. Scattered accretions and areas of oxidation, particularly where elements are welded together.
