The work of highly-acclaimed Texas-based sculptor
Bob Pack has been collected worldwide. His energy level and artistic
abilities appear boundless as the life-size and larger bronze monuments
he so meticulously sculpts.
His most recent commission of Stephen F. Austin, the Father
of Texas, displays the heroic entrepreneur emerging from the
waters of the nearby Brazos River. It captures Austin as his
horse rears and he pulls a struggling packhorse to shore.
Located in the middle of the newly constructed Sugar Land
Town Square, this 18-foot by 24-foot masterpiece is strategically
positioned in a large granite fountain to depict the river's
current and the spirit and courage of early Texans. Only a
few of the remaining 30 limited edition bronze remain available
to collectors.
Pack first received prominence and international acclaim with his outstanding
art series entitled "Legends of Golf" which depicts the sport's finest
players: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Jones and Gary Player. Other recognized
greats who also own some of Pack's sculptures are Byron Nelson, the late Gene
Sarazen, Tom Watson, Nick Price and Ben Crenshaw.
His creative genius as an artist has earned him a reputation as the foremost
sculptor of bronze sports figures in the world. He has received national
recognition in Newsweek, USA Today and Golf Magazine.
At the personal invitation of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, friends of
President and Mrs. Bush were presented Mr. Pack’s bronzes in appreciation
for their performance at the Presidential Gala. Mr. Pack also received
a Papal invitation which took him to Rome where, in a private audience at the
Pope’s summer residence, he personally presented a bronze to Pope John
Paul II. |
