Parx is the First American Casino & Racetrack to Host Famed International Sculpture
PENNSYLVANIA – Parx Casino® & Racing, 2999 Street Road in Ben- salem, Pennsylvania, is proud to wel- come the internationally acclaimed sculpture, HORSE AT WATER, by Britain’s most famous equestrian sculptor, Nic Fiddian-Green, to the grounds of Parx. This monumental sculpture of a regal 25-ton horse head has literally crossed the pond for its new home at the legendary casino and racetrack. The 34-foot high bronze masterpiece is on public display for the first time ever on American soil. The sculpture graces the property entrance on the vast landscaped area offering a panoramic view for all visitors.

The Parx complex is the #1 gaming and live thoroughbred racing venue in the region. It is owned and operated by Greenwood Racing, Inc. and was originally founded by for- mer British gaming entrepreneurs. Last summer Parx officials viewed HORSE AT WATER at the much- loved London landmark, Marble Arch, and asked Nic Fiddian-Green’s London gallerists, Gerry Farrell and Edward Horswell of Sladmore Gallery (
www.sladmore.com), if they could be the first to show the monu- mental work in the United States. “We are thrilled to have Nic Fiddian- Green’s HORSE AT WATER sculp- ture at Parx,” said Bob Green, Chair- man. “Our company has always been deeply involved in the equine world and the sculpture honors that origin. We’re extremely happy to have this majestic piece of art on property that will provide a powerful visual imprint to enrich everyone’s visit to Parx.”
Nic Fiddian-Green is best known internationally for elevating
equestrian fine art to its highest levels. Over his 30-year long career creat- ing monumental sculp- tures of horses’ heads – a passion sparked when he first laid eyes on the Elgin Marble Selene Horse at The British Museum, Fiddian-Green has devoted his life to expressing “the beauty of a horse” in bronze, steel and lead. He creates his horse heads from life using the methods of antiquity, scaling up from small clay models, and having them cast using the lost wax, or cire per- due method, not unlike bronzes created in the earliest days of Western art.
