Perhaps the most iconic work in Pieter d'Hont's oeuvre is this bison from 1981.
Very powerful and highly sought after statue, with an edition of approx. 10 copies (according to the monograph). The statue is in a beautiful condition, with a very nice patina.
The work appears on the front cover of a publication by the Centraal Museum and is also mentioned in his monograph.
This particular image is a reduction of the work that is permanently present on the Beneluxlaan in Utrecht:
'On the occasion of its new head office on the Beneluxlaan in Utrecht, the 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 found the design exceptionally beautiful and was of the opinion 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.'
