Description

FRED Talks with Alexander Contini: Behind Every Artist
Hosted by Frederic Remington Art Museum

Join us for a fascinating illustrated talk on the Contini family, master mold makers and bronze casters whose legacy began in Rome and helped shape American sculpture in the early 20th century. Alexander F. Contini shares rare images and documents to reveal the behind-the-scenes work of Italian immigrants, including family connections to Frederic Remington and Sally James Farnham. The Continis cast works for some of the most prominent sculptors of their time—including Fraser, Manship, Huntington, and Borglum, many of whom were leaders in the National Sculpture Society. This event will be held in person at the musuem, or you can attend virurtally via Zoom.
