98: BRONZE SCULPTURE OF THE RACEHORSE NASHUA AND CLEM BROOKS

Liza Todd-Tivey (Born 1957)
Nashua and Clem (1982)
This two-color patinated bronze sculpture numbered 18 from an edition of 75 is a smaller version of the life-sized original at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Kentucky where Nashua stood at stud for decades following his retirement from thoroughbred racing. His groom of thirty years, Clem Brooks, was a celebrity there in his own rite. The two are depicted here well-sculpted and in various colors of patinated bronze.

Nashua was the leading thoroughbred money-winner of his time, earning more than $1.1 million in three years of racing during the mid-1950s.

The sculptor Liza Todd-Tivey is a well-known New York artist specializing in and famous for Equestrian sculpture.
Measures 12.5 x 16 x 12 inches.
Very good condition, noting a separation of the lead and build-up of glue from old repairs.
$800 - $1,200
