One of the most iconic works in Pieter d'Hont's oeuvre is this bison from 1981.
Very powerful and highly sought after image, with an edition of approx. 10 copies (according to the monograph). The figurine is in beautiful condition, with a very nice patina.
The statue is a reduction of the impressive sculpture on the Beneluxlaan in Utrecht:
'On the occasion of its new head office on the Beneluxlaan in Utrecht, Koninklijke Wegenbouw Stevin BV wanted to donate a statue to the city of Utrecht, made by Pieter d'Hont. In 1966 d'Hont presented the design of “Bison”. The Advisory Committee for Visual Arts and Design of the Municipality of Utrecht thought the design was extremely attractive and believed that the bison is an animal symbol of the bulldozer, indispensable in road construction.
The dimensions of “Bizon” on the Beneluxlaan in Utrecht: 200x300x70 cm.'
