Highly Polished Steel Sculpture of a Bison by Bob Haozous 1993

This striking sculpture by renowned Chiricahua Apache artist Bob Haozous (b. 1943) features a stylized bison, cut from solid stainless steel, then meticulously ground and brought to a brilliant high polish. Created in 1993, the work is signed B. Haozous and remains in its original condition. Weighing 8.5 lbs, the piece reflects Haozous's mastery of form and finish, transforming industrial material into a powerful representation of strength and endurance.

Bob Haozous, son of legendary Apache sculptor Allan Houser, is celebrated for his provocative and often monumental sculptures. His work explores themes of identity, environment, and cultural memory. Haozous's public installations — such as the iconic disks at Seattle's CenturyLink Field — demonstrate his commitment to dialogue between art and the natural world. This intimate yet bold bison sculpture exemplifies the same spirit on a refined scale.

Condition: original condition

Provenance: This Highly-Polished Steel Sculpture of a Bison by Bob Haozous 1993 is from a Santa Fe collector.
