Of the 450 lifetime bronze editions Allan created, nearly 375 have been sold out and castings are no longer available. Additionally, many more editions have been entirely cast out, with only a few remaining copies in our available inventory. To insure the quality and integrity of bronzes remaining to be produced from these lifetime editions, the family of Allan Houser modified and expanded his sculpture studio to accommodate a complete bronze foundry in April of 1996. Staffed by skilled artisans who had decades of experience working directly with the artist, the foundry provides Allan Houser Inc. with firm control and documentation of all works created during his lifetime. Recognizedd for its un-parralelled craftsmanship, the Allan Houser Foundry is now one of the most highly sought-after casting facilities by artists throughout the world. Instituitons or artists interested in contracting production may contact the Allan Houser Foundry at (505) 471-3144 or by viewing the foundry website at www.allanhouserfoundry.com.
