Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is proud to welcome the arrival of Deborah Butterfield's beautiful sculpture, Halfmoon Lake, to the Park's collection of monumental contemporary sculptures. This extraordinary piece, named after a serene lake near Glacier National Park in Montana, was completed in 2008 and features a unique design that showcases Butterfield's masterful use of found materials to create evocative horse sculptures.
Deborah Butterfield, celebrated for her captivating sculptures of horses, shared her excitement about the new installation; “I am thrilled Halfmoon Lake (named after a lake near Glacier National Park, Montana) has found a home at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park where its presence will come to new life amidst the beautiful natural setting. I am honored it will be on view for many to enjoy, for years to come."
The addition of Halfmoon Lake underscores Pyramid Hill's commitment to bringing world-class art to the public while enhancing the cultural and natural landscape of the park. Known for its expansive outdoor gallery featuring monumental sculptures, Pyramid Hill provides an ideal setting for Butterfield's work, allowing it to be viewed in harmony with the rolling hills and serene environment of the park.
Sarah Templeton Wilson, Executive Director of Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, expressed enthusiasm about the new acquisition; "We are incredibly excited to welcome Deborah Butterfield's Halfmoon Lake to our collection, thanks to the generosity of the Harry T. Wilks Family Foundation. Having a piece by such a well-known female sculptor is a tremendous honor, and this sculpture fits beautifully into our natural landscape. It not only enriches our park but also resonates with our mission to integrate art and nature. We believe visitors will find profound inspiration in Butterfield's work as they explore our grounds."
Nanci Lanni and Barbara Wilks purchased the piece through the Harry T. Wilks Family Foundation with the Park in mind. "Deborah Butterfield's horses project an emotional presence which connects us to the natural world. We are excited to be able to share Halfmoon Lake with our community" Lanni shared.
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum invites art enthusiasts, families, and the community to visit and experience Halfmoon Lake along with its extensive collection of outdoor sculptures on their next visit.
