Glenna Goodacre
Saks Galleries recently acquired an important early work by Glenna Goodacre. Ms. Goodacre passed away earlier this year but is fondly remembered as America's premier portrait sculptor. Her well-known public sculptures include the Women's Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Sacagawea design on the U.S. Dollar coin, and the massive 35-figure Irish Memorial in Philadelphia.
'Waterbearer' depicts a traditional Pueblo woman. It was made in a very small edition of 15. It is also of note that with this bronze Ms. Goodacre did each pot design personally with patina chemicals -- so every pot design is different. This makes for a truly unique work and a wonderful bronze
