Bronze with patinas, Foundry Proof #1/1, On base: 76.5"h x 33"w x 13"d, Item No. 21958,
Rains for the Harvest is a rectangular bronze sculpture that stands over six feet tall, its face adorned with an intricate graphical representation of a large robed figure. The highly stylized subject holds their hands aloft, each grasping what appear to be green leaves. Above and behind the figure’s head is a geometric design resembling a layered step pyramid, serving as both a crown and a background to the scene. The figure’s robe fills the lower two-thirds of the composition, its surface decorated with meticulous designs and motifs of profound yet privileged significance. A pair of small bushes sprout from the ground at the subject’s feet, anchoring the composition.
Rains for the Harvest is an artwork of considerable renown, with eight individual casts having been displayed across the United States in universities and cultural centers. As a “#1/1 Foundry Proof,” this sculpture can be considered the true original of this artwork. Its availability is a rare opportunity.
