The Artist's Recent Commissions


Jay Hall Carpenter has sculpted some of the best and most beautiful monumental portrait sculptures created in the last thirty years. Known for his ability to capture a person's true essence, Mr. Carpenter is definitely the right Man for our very important project.
Here are images of some of his most recent work.

"Douglas Fairbanks, Sr." was commissioned by film maker George Lucas and stands in front of the new film school at USC.

The "Jim Henson" memorial (shown with Mr. Carpenter prior to its completion) was commissioned by the University of Maryland and was installed in front


of the Stamp Student Union Building in College Park, Maryland.

"Senator Goode" was commissioned by the University of Missouri at St' Louis and stands at the university.

We are honored that Mrs. Mondavi has approved the selection of Mr. Carpenter to recreate Mr. Mondavi's likeness in bronze. There is a lot of work to be done and the end result will be a beautiful ten-foot tall sculpture of the champion of the Napa Valley. The Robert Mondavi Memorial Sculpture will be enjoyed for generations and will serve as inspiration to those who believe that hard work, intelligence and perseverance can result in happiness, success and all of the good things that life has to offer.
