Lot description

H. Clay Dahlberg (Born 1946) "The Range Boss" Bronze Sculpture. Clay Dahlberg, western sculptor, had his sights set on becoming a cowboy right from the beginning. He was, after all, a Texas boy who had been born in San Antonio and would grow up in the Houston area. But while most city-born Texas boys were content with toy guns, stickhorses and Saturday matinees, Clay Dahlberg went after the real thing. He had a Cotulla connection, an ancestral attachment to the South Texas brush country where the real cowboys came from. Clay Dahlberg rodeoed, worked as a feed salesman, and learned to shoe horses long before he ever entertained the idea of being an artist. It was a chance encounter with a sculptor of western subjects at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, around 1970, which first fired his imagination and put him on the path toward a career in fine art. Dahlberg's work is in private schools and public collections in the United States and Europe. He was chosen to exhibit in the first all-sculpture show held at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center. Artist: H.
