Bob Scriver (1914-1999)
Heading for a Wreck, 1968
bronze, 3
17 x 36 x 27 inches
inscribed: © Bob Scriver, 1968 -3-,“Heading for a Wreck”, Bighorn Foundry
This very large and impressive work by Bob Scriver is considered by most Western art collectors as one of the top three bronzes from his Rodeo Series. In describing this piece, Scriver said, “Sculpting this action, I decided to picture the hazer as well as the dogger because the hazer is most certainly an essential part of the bulldogging sequence. Getting the story told was of prime importance here. However, there were many opportunities for good sculptural design. Proper arrangement of the elements was of great importance to the authenticity of the piece. It was not my purpose in these sculptures about rodeo to depict the cowboy as a man who always makes the perfect ride or the perfect catch, but rather as a man, who, although he knows his business, can and does make errors. This is so evident here where the dogger’s timing is just a little off and the steer and he are going to go head over heels.”Condition
The sculpture appears to be in good condition with no damage or evidence of restoration. The surface of the sculpture has a green-brown patina.
