Recounting the Coup by Craig Bergsgaard

Recounting the Coup, Full Figure depicts a Lakota man reminiscing about his life and the soon-to-vanish lifestyle of his people. This basic premise has been captivating collectors at all my 2010 shows, from Arizona to Canada.

Now it is time to cast the first piece. Once I send the clay to the foundry on September 17, the price will increase by $3,000. So if you have been thinking about adding Recounting the Coup, Full Figure to your collection, you have only a few more days to do so at the reduced price.

One of the best things this sculpture is hearing the personal experiences that my collectors relate to the piece. One of my favorite stories is the client who bought it because it reminded her of the wisdom in her grandfather’s eyes.
