Milton Elting Hebald (1917 – 2015) was a sculptor who
specialized in figurative bronze works. Twenty-three of his works are displayed
in public in New York City, including the statues of Romeo and Juliet and The
Tempest in front of the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. His major work is a
220-foot (67 m), 12-piece "Zodiac Screen", then the largest sculpture
in the world, commissioned by Pan-American Airlines for its terminal at John F.
Kennedy International Airport.
Hebald studied at several New York art schools, starting at
the age of ten. He has been a guest lecturer and teacher at many academic
institutions.
Hebald had his first one-man show at the age of 20, in New
York City. He is currently exclusively represented by the Pushkin Gallery in
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
After living near his granddaughter and great-granddaughter
in Los Angeles, and continuing to sculpt in Terra Cotta and draw, Milton Hebald
died on January 5, 2015 at the age of 97, in West Hollywood, California.
