Don Polland
1932 - 2003
Don Polland, like the many characters he portrayed in his
sculpture, was a pioneer.
As early as 1959 he broke with tradition by executing his western sculpture
in miniature scale (most of his designs are under 8" high), which made his
work much more affordable, and certainly easier to display in the average
home. In 1973, when Polland joined forces with Chilmark, a new era in art of
the American West began, as his work was now produced in fine pewter, as
well as bronze. With well over 100 individual designs to his credit.
Don has earned his place next to Remington, Russell and Fraser.
Don Polland had invested over twenty five years of his life to an art form
and a body of work that has integrity and permanence.
These sculptures are from a private collection and have
the certificates with them but not the original boxes.
