An exhibition highlighting one of America's most prolific and successful sculptors "Wildlife and Western Heroes: Alexander Phimister Proctor, Sculptor," comes to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, May 1 through October 10.

Alexander Phimister Proctor (1860-1950) is respected as a leader of American sculptors, known for his mastery of animal anatomy and for his contributions to public sculpture. Monumental examples of Proctor's work can be found in many major American cities including New York, Dallas, Denver, Portland, and Washington, D.C.

The exhibition features bronze sculpture, models for monumental works, paintings, drawings, watercolors, etchings, Proctor's artist tools, and vintage photographs.

"Wildlife and Western Heroes: Alexander Phimister Proctor, Sculptor" is organized by the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, and is made possible in part by Mr. and Mrs. Sebert L. Pate, the Mary Potishman Lard Trust, and the Ruth and Vernon Taylor Foundation. The companion publication is generously supported by a gift from the Proctor Foundation, Poulsbo, Washington.
