Museum to exhibit sculptures


   This month Amon Carter Museum will open the first exhibition of the work of Alexander Phimister Proctor (1860-1950).
   One of America’s most prolific and successful sculptors of public monuments, Proctor has been immortalized through his work.
   From Texas to New York, Proctor’s work can be found in the Bronx Zoo with various animals displayed within their natural habitats and in front of Princeton University’s Nassau Hall in his depiction of tigers.
   Proctor’s local work includes General Robert E. Lee and Young Soldier in Dallas.
   The exhibit itself will include a detailed description of the sculpting process.
   Tools and pictures will show patrons the steps from mold to finished product.
   Sample molds will also be on display throughout the exhibition.
   The exhibit is open to the public starting Oct. 11 and running through Feb. 1.
   Admission is free.
   For more information, contact the Amon Carter Museum at 817-738-1933.
