A One Man Show I Put on in 1991 in Jakarta Indonesia



Back then, in the 1990s, I had a gallery that represented me at what was then, Caesar's Hotel and Casino on South Lake Tahoe Nevada.. I was commissioned by a gentleman from Jakarta, who was a huge car manufacturer in the Near East.. He commissioned me to do half Life Size busts in bronze of him and his two sons.. and he made 10 copies of each.. One of his friends in Jakarta invited me to put on a one man show in Jakarta...sponsored by the Rotary Club.. Rotary is huge in the far East... It was a real blast.. The Artist to the Royal Family of Thailand bought a Bucking Horse bronze of mine.. I was introduced by the US Ambassador and the Cultural Minister of Indonesia... Didn't understand a word of either one of them...
