1. Harry Weber Marker
Inscription.
Harry Weber. Born June 11, 1942. St. Louisan Harry Weber's larger than life bronze sculptures of famous sports and historical figures race stadiums and public spaces across the US, China, and Africa. His expressive sculptures give the sense that the figures are actually in motion with a fluidity that captures the emotional vitality of the moment. He vividly brought to life everyone he depicted whether it was St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame baseball players in action, Boston Bruins hockey icon Bobby Orr exuberantly flying across the ice after a cup-winning goal, Chuck Berry rocking and rolling with his guitar as if right on stage, or the striking portrait of Dred and Harriet Scott outside the courthouse where they began their fight for freedom from slavery.
