Brad Howe — Hold Your Horses
Brad Howe

Hold Your Horses

2020

Hold Your Horses is a tall, slender standing sculpture that balances geometric precision with a spirit of pure playfulness. Constructed from stainless steel and polyurethane, the work carries the vibrant, irreverent energy that has made Brad Howe a recognized presence in contemporary sculpture internationally. The combination of materials allows for a surface quality that shifts between industrial cool and saturated warmth, giving the piece a visual dynamism that rewards close inspection as much as it commands attention across a room. At just over 120 centimeters in height, its vertical presence is confident without being imposing, and the option to place it on a small base offers collectors meaningful flexibility when positioning it within a given environment. Howe's practice draws from a lineage rooted in Pop sensibility and mid-century formal invention, yet his sculptural language is entirely his own, marked by bold color choices and forms that feel simultaneously spontaneous and rigorously composed. This work is suited equally to interior and outdoor settings, making it a rare acquisition that can move between domestic spaces, private gardens, and institutional environments with ease. Howe has maintained an active global exhibition history with placements across multiple continents, and his work has earned a devoted collector base precisely because it occupies that well-calibrated space between serious formal sculpture and genuine, uncomplicated joy. Signed by the artist, Hold Your Horses represents Howe at his most characteristically expressive, a work that brings lasting vitality to any collection.
