Mr. Nichols’s Steer

080216

In 1991, Texas artist Harold Nichols donated this sculpture to his alma mater, Sul Ross State University in Alpine. According to the Library of Congress, the sculpture contains enough steel to build an automobile. (I imagine they mean a 1991-era automobile, not a 2016 one.)

But anyway, Mr. Nichols called the steer “Old Maverick.”
