10 years ago, Sculptor Andy Scott award winning #Kelpie mauetes landed in New York and for a few weeks were in residence at Bryant Park – they looked magnificent on the Fountain Terrace.
The Kelpies are the 10 foot 1:10 scale design models of Andy Scott’s 100-foot-tall sculptures.
The full size Kelpies are located in the heart of the new 900-acre Helix Park in Falkirk , central Scotland – half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
We look back on some photos of the Kelpies here taken by Camilla Hellman “the most amazing sight seeing the Kelpies make their way up Sixth Avenue on a flatbed trailer … and to then be hoisted into Bryant Park”
Andy Scott continues to create metal animal art, now in Los Angeles, CA. His latest works include 15 bronze horses in Las Vegas as part of the permanent memorial of the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
He was also commissioned by Manchester City FC for a series of three sculptures at Ethiad Stadium – Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany, and David Silva.
