1973 Roberto Clemente Bronze Statue by Malcolm Alexander
Roberto Clemente looks like a Greek god in spikes in Malcolm Alexander's sensational 1973 bronze sculpture. The limited edition (No. 22/200) piece is 14" tall and captures every crease in his uniform and every muscle peeking through the fabric as the Pirates great follows through with his neck cocked to one side. It is comforting that the familiar gesture of a sports icon who left us too soon could be preserved. Alexander, known for his Alaskan pipeline monument and a statue of Jimmy Stewart, created the Clemente work shortly after the future Hall of Famer perished in a plane crash. The bronze base is signed by the artist and the entire piece stands on a marble-like platform with an engraved gold placard that reads: "Roberto Clemente by Malcolm Alexander." When originally released, this statue retailed for $2,500 and sold out.
