Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011)

Plantin'
Signed and dated "© Harry Jackson 59" incised in the bronze, stamped with the foundry mark "WFS/ITALIA," impressed with the artist's thumbprint, and stamped "PL 6." just above the signature, all on the center back edge.
Bronze with black/brown patina, 11 x 26 1/2 x 13 in. (27.9 x 67.3 x 33.0 cm),on a wood plinth.
Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices, very minor wear and losses to areas of the patina.

Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California.

N.B. Cast in early 1960, Plantin' is a smaller, second version of Range Burial. Here Jackson simplified the composition, reducing the number of figures to nine from fifteen and focusing the vantage point in closer to the grave.
Estimate $22,000-28,000

Titled on a presentation plaque on the wood plinth.

WFS is the mark of Harry Jackson's foundry, Wyoming Foundry Studios, Camaiore, Italy.

Two small losses to the patina on the jacket of the man standing in the right foreground, to the sleeve of the rider in the left foreground,and to the brim of the hat on the rider located in the back right, minor corrosion to some of the reins, some of which are set in active curves as if blowing in the wind, rather than hanging straight down..

Plantin' was issued as an edition of 7, and this cast is marked "PL 6."
