Horse Pipe Sculpture, Walking, Stainless Steel

This statue was envisioned by Timbul Raharjo, an award-winning artist and sculptor from the village of Kasongan in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He is well-known for large-scale masterpieces like these decorative sculptures that are made from highly polished stainless-steel pipe that is individually placed and welded together to create astonishing, complex forms. Timbul works with all types of metals, including aluminum castings, to make dresses, humans, and animals. Each piece is hand-sculpted and, after a thorough polish, the sculptures come to life convincingly. Each of these reflects the ethos that Phillips Collection personifies: modern organic.
