Taylor, K. Rodeo Clown Rodeo clowns have long been a staple to protect riders from bulls if they fall or when they dismount. In this dramatic bronze, 9/20 by former rodeo veterenarian and sculptor Dr. K. Taylor (1982) captures such a moment as the rider has dismounted (after the longest 8 seconds of his life) running clear of the Brahma bull, while the clown creates a distraction. Excellent interpretation of action and in all the details including the bullrope the flank strap and bell on the bucking bull and most especially the apparel of a typical rodeo clown. Bronze measures 17 x 13 x 14" flush mounted on woodbase and swivels to turn piece for better viewing at all angles. 16 pounds. Minor scuffs on base, but bronze in excellent condition. Estimated Value $600 - 1,000
