Eagle for Eagle Gate - Working Model
$15,000.00Price
Working Model for Eagle Gate by Grant R. Fairbanks.
The specifications for the new Eagle for Salt Lake City’s iconic Eagle Gate required an enlarged bird sculpture with a 20-foot wingspan in order to be in proper proportion to the newly-planned wider gate spanning the wider street. A working model with a 5-foot wingspan patterned after the century-old woodcarving by Ralph Ramsey was created by Grant R. Fairbanks, for approval. Once approved, the 5-foot model would be enlarged four times to create the colossal Eagle which in steel reinforced plaster would be shipped to Bedi-Rassy Art Foundry in Greenpoint, New York, to be cast in bronze.
This is the 5-foot wing span working model and is available for Bronze castings.
