Commissioned Sculptor: Gary Lee Price, NSS

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “The spirit of man is what makes him unique above all of God’s creations. Gary Lee Price bronzes come as close to “capturing” this spirit as is humanly possible. Sculpture with meaning, sculpture to “lift the human spirit” – sculpture to inspire – this is the essence of Gary’s work. This is his life’s journey – to lift – to inspire.

One of the largest libraries in the world, the Hong Kong Central Library, 12 stories high and 300,000 square feet, is graced by the recent installation of 12 Gary Lee Price life-size bronze sculptures. This impressive display includes bronzes of young readers, happy children releasing doves, others playing with shells in water, some holding beautiful flowers or soaring through the air as though weightless. Additionally, two 22” round frogs, “Puffed Up Princes”, are sentinels at the entrance of the children’s library.
