- Lot Description
Susan Kliewer (American, b. 1940). "Geronimo" bronze, 2005. Edition 25 of 45. Signed and numbered on back of terrain below the horse and rider. A magnificent limited edition cast bronze sculpture of Geronimo, the legendary Apache leader, by Susan Kliewer, one of the Southwest's most acclaimed sculptors. Kliewer presents Geronimo on horseback, dynamically turning backward to gaze behind him while holding the reins of his galloping steed in one hand and an intimidating rifle in the other. The finely modeled and colorful patinated details of Geronimo's clothing and accoutrements, the horse's mane, coat, and bridle as well as the flowering cactus and desert plants are quite impressive. Kliewer also meticulously rendered with craggy terrain below with prickly cactus and uneven ground. What's more, the statue is mounted on a tiered wooden pedestal that rotates so that one may admire it from all angles. Size: 15.5" W x 17.25" H (39.4 cm x 43.8 cm); 19" H (48.3 cm) on included custom stand.
This piece was acquired from the Mountain Trails Gallery in Sedona and was accompanied by the following contextual description, "A famed Apache Medicine Man, warrior, seer, and spiritual leader, Geronimo has become an American legend. He was single-minded in his determination to preserve his people's land and culture through any means necessary."
A native of Southern California, Susan Kliewer has lived in Arizona for 40 years, with 5 of those years at the Marble Canyon Trading Post adjacent to the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona. Kliewer started painting when she was 10 years old and took up sculpture in 1987 after working at a foundry for 10 years. In 1993, Kliewer won a competition to create a monument of Sedona Schnebly. In addition, she created a life-size fountain that portrays the Sinagua people as well as a fountain of a Hopi Water Maiden in Sedona. In her words, "My work aims to show the common thread that underlies all human experience, and which, I hope, brings us to a greater understanding between peoples."
