Fifteen life-size bronze sculptures by Deborah Butterfield are included in a new outdoor exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens. (Callaghan O’Hare, The Denver Post)
Re: “Deborah Butterfield’s horses graze at the Denver Botanic Gardens,” June 12 Entertainment story.
I can’t be the only person reading Ray Mark Rinaldi’s story who thought, “Why not at DIA?” Deborah Butterfield’s bronze horses display a simple elegance and raw authenticity that are hallmarks of the West. Neither of the pictured horses has a single evil red eye, and Rinaldi’s story gives no evidence that any of the horses is currently facing patricide charges. How soon can we crane one of Butterfield’s masterpieces to the grassy knoll on Peña Boulevard?
