William Tyndale (c.1494–1536) 2000 or before
Lawrence Holofcener (1926–2017) and Bronze Age Sculpture Casting Foundry
Sculptor, playwright, lyricist, actor and director, born in Baltimore, Maryland, America. Holofcener modelled in clay and cast in bronze, and claimed Michelangelo, Rodin and Epstein as influences. He studied for a year at the Maryland Institute and at the New School in New York “at a class given by Chaim Gross. I lasted an hour.” Holofcener took part in group exhibitions in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; Princeton, New Jersey; and in London. Had a first solo show at Gibbes Museum, Charleston, South Carolina, 1977, and latterly at Bruton Street Gallery, 1996, and The Catto Gallery, 2002. Catto commissioned Holofcener to produce a limited-edition maquette of his life-size sculpture Allies (Churchill and Roosevelt), unveiled in Bond Street in 1995.
