Click to enlarge The Project The BuffalART Series is an exciting sculpture project brought to the Huntington community by the Huntington Museum of Art, in collaboration with Marshall University. The first in the series, commissioned of Robin Hammer and Chris Dutch, is shown near completion above. The Museum plans to commission a new buffalo sculpture annually by a different area artist, who will share in the proceeds of the auction. The sculptures will be unveiled each year at HMA’s Hilltop Festival. After the unveiling, the sculpture will be auctioned off during the Marshall University Homecoming Week. In coming years, a growing “thundering herd” will invade the city as more and more artists provide their own perspectives on the famous MU mascot.
The Bidding Process
To Bid: Write, call or
email with your name, address & bid amount. Top bids will be announced periodically, in anticipation of the final announcement the Friday after Homecoming.
Contact: The Artists Robin Hammer and Chris Dutch of Dutchhammer created this year’s buffalo, Parker’s Dream, from a variety of materials, including fiberglass, wood, metal and paints. The artistic team produces unique art. They work both separately and together. Chris Dutch’s independent work is primarily in stained glass and mosaic, while Robin Hammer works as a painter, designer and sculptor. Their collaborative work runs the gamut from furniture, installations and sculpture to works designed to be hung on walls. They may be found on the internet at http://www.dutchhammer.com Or e-mail at: Chris Dutch -- cdutchstgl@verizon.net Robin Hammer -- hammer@mindspring.com **The Museums hopes the new owner of Parker’s Dream will allow it to be displayed in a prominent location in Huntington for 30 days after purchase.
