[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9649847, member: 84"]I found this at a local thrift store Fri along with the Alexander Calder exhibition poster, a 1952 Yoshi Yoshida woodblock + a few other pieces that all came from the same house (supposedly someone passed away & family members donated the contents to make it easier to sell the house + the donations were a tax write off they could use to pay inheritance/house sale taxes) + there were more pieces that I couldn't afford! I did an image search of this statue & it came back as a bronze statue called Winner's Circle by Isidore Bonhuer! But I can't find a signature & the bottom/base looks & feels like some type of metal? How do I find out if the horse & jockey are bronze? Did they make a copy of his work? (I can't find any) Either way I love this piece & think it's stunning; when I asked how much it was & they told me $100 I didn't hesitate - even before I knew it was supposed to be by some well known artist. Any information that will help me know what I have would be greatly appreciated.
