I think one of everyone's favorite pieces at the High is the untitled sculpture of a Horse by Deborah Butterfield. It's become one of my personal favorites and the kids really enjoy seeing this piece on school field trips.
Deborah Kay Butterfield (born May 7, 1949) is an American sculptor. Along with her artist-husband John Buck, she divides her time between a ranch in Bozeman, Montana and studio space in Hawaii. She is known for her sculptures of horses made from found objects, like metal, and especially pieces of wood.[1] Born the same day as the 75th running of the Kentucky Derby,
Butterfield partly credits that birthdate as an inspiration for her
subject matter; she has also said that she would have preferred to work
in the female form, but that her mentor Manuel Neri
dominated that form. Instead, she chose to create self-portraits using
images of horses. Gradually, the horses themselves became her primary
theme. (Wikipedia)
