Casting


This sculpture is taken from the Exhibition: The Decade Show by Luis Jimenez. Jiménez was known for his large polychromed fiberglass sculptures.  He was killed in his studio on June 13, 2006 when a large section of Blue Mustang, intended for Denver International Airport, fell on him and severed an artery in his leg. The sculpture was based on the eight-foot-high sculpture Mesteño (Mustang), now on display at the University of Oklahoma.  This is tragic but at least he passed while doing something he loved.  His daughter was also a contestant on Season 4 of Project runway on Bravo.
