Why buy American
made Bronze Sculpture?

Buying American made bronze sculptures gives a quality assurance of the artwork you are purchasing.
 

The reasons that the price of bronze sculptures imported from Mexico, South America, or Asia are so low include:
-quality of the bronze metal used in the sculpture
-quality of craftsmanship
-working conditions
-cost of labor in these countries.

The minimum standard for bronze in the United States of America is 90% copper.  Imported bronze usually tests at only 50% to 55% copper.

The quality of the bronze effects the resilience of the bronze sculpture as well as its ability to accept patina.  Cheap imported bronze sculptures will generally not hold up to weather well, it's color taking on a corrosive residue quickly because of the low copper content in the bronze, sometimes even rusting depending on the metal content.  Any repair work needed on a bronze sculpture is nearly impossible with such poor quality bronze.

Our foundry uses high quality silicon bronze with 95% copper 4%
manganese and 1% silicon.
The standard for American bronze sculptures. 

Because Kim's bronze horse sculptures are cast of this high quality US bronze, and they are made in the time honored process of lost wax bronze casting, they have the potential to last thousands of years and the patina of these bronze sculptures is lasting and beautiful.

Kim Corpany's bronze horse sculptures are full of life.  To look at them draws a person in, waiting for the bronze sculpture to move, looking for the bronze horse's ear to twitch, the tail to swish or the horse to breathe.
Kim has made a life-long pursuit of understanding horses from the inside out and it shows in her remarkable horse sculptures.  Kim's bronze equestrian sculptures tell the stories of the horses and riders that they are modeled after.  The bronze sculptures speak to the viewer with emotion and presence.
