Pickens Museum puts Monumental Sculpture on Display in Ponca City
"Osage Warrior in the Enemy Camp" was commissioned by Pickens Museum and is on temporary display for the next few weeks at 2401 Coppercreek in Ponca City. "I invite the public to drive by and see it," says Hugh Pickens, Executive Director of Pickens Museum. "You can get out of your car and come over next to it if you wish to take photos but for safety reasons, please stay off the trailer."
In October the monumental sculpture, 8 feet tall by 12 feet long, will be moved to Pawhuska where it will be on display as part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration on October 22 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Osage Reservation established in 1872. The event celebrates Osage resilience and recognizes major accomplishments of the Osage Nation. While in Pawhuska the bronze will be returned to Bronze Horse Foundry where owner John Free will be performing some minor repairs to the sculpture.
In January 2023, "Osage Warrior in the Enemy Camp" will be moved to Woolaroc for a few months as part of the inauguration of Pickens Gallery at Woolaroc. It will complement a mural on the same subject by Osage Artist Yatika Starr Fields that was commissioned by Pickens Museum.
After Woolaroc the sculpture will be going to Tonkawa and will be on display outside the Pickens Learning Commons in the Vineyard Building at NOC, home of the 120' by 20' mural by Yatika Starr Fields that was commissioned by Pickens Museum and donated as a gift to Northern Oklahoma College at Tonkawa.
The ultimate location of the sculpture will be in the atrium of Pickens Museum on the South Side of Highway 60 two miles west of Ponca City, after the permanent location is constructed.
"In the meantime I wanted the people of Ponca City to be able to enjoy this magnificent sculpture before it begins its travels to Pawhuska, Woolaroc, and Tonkawa," says Pickens.
