William Koelpin was an avid hunter and fisherman from Wisconsin. He went on to become a celebrated sporting artist who excelled in a number of mediums, including bronze, paint, and wood. Throughout his career Koelpin displayed his passion for the outdoors through his accurate and detailed works. His first sold-out exhibit was at the Midwest Decoy Collectors Annual Show in the mid-1970s.
Koelpin enjoyed many honors in his time, including the "Best in World" Award from the Ward Museum in Salisbury, Maryland. He was also named "One of America's Premier Artists" by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Since its creation "Storm Warning" has been coveted by collectors, becoming one the most iconic waterfowling bronzes of all time. A rare opportunity to own the number one casting of this iconic waterfowl hunting bronze.
