Mixed Metal & Found Objects
5' Tall x 8' Wide x 11.5' Long

Artist’s Fun Fact: Texas Longhorns are direct descendants of the first cattle in the New World, brought over by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Their exceptionally long horns, multi colors, gentle disposition and intelligence make them an interesting breed. Old Tex is a life-sized bull with chrome horns made from Harley Davidson mufflers. A pair of unusual cast iron weights found at the scrap yard, leaves no doubt that he’s a bull.
Award Winner! Old Tex won the People’s Choice award in Hutchinson, MN in 2020.
This sculpture was purchased by a private collector.
