14" by 12 1/2" by 14 1/2". Title is Judgement. Richard Vernon Greeves (Born 1935) is active/lives in Wyoming, Missouri. Richard Greeves is known for Indian figure sculpture. A sculptor of monumental bronze Indian figures, Richard Greeves was born and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in St. Louis, where he lived in his words, a "Huck Finn childhood." Many of his neighbors were handy with tools, and they influenced his love of building and creating. At age 15, he met an Indian girl whom he visited on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, and he later moved there and purchased the local trading post which became his home and studio. With one third of an acre enclosed and 26-foot high ceilings, he has plenty of room to work. Greeves is winner of the James Earle Fraser Award for Outstanding Artistic Merit at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 2000, and his monuments to Chief Washakie and Crazy Horse reside in the gardens at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. For the courtyard of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, he sculpted a monument of Indian figures 1 and 1/2 times life-size.
