Gerenuk
Description
By Kent Ullberg Broonze sculpture Ullberg spent 7 years in Africa studying, and chose this piece because he found the gerenuk to be an exotic and interesting antelope. He found it exciting to depict him reaching up, standing on his skinny back legs, which challenged the stretched integrity of the composition. Because of this, Ullberg had to include special engineering tricks such as embedding stainless steel structures in the bronze.
