This sculpture is dated from the 1980s. Masterfully twisted from a single length of wire, the piece features striking stylized wings rising from the stallion's back, capturing a beautiful sense of flight, motion, and raw expressionist form. Varick's brilliant, self-taught folk art technique—the subject of a short documentary film—makes this a rare, deeply storied piece of historic NYC outsider art for any serious sculpture collection.
