As the first sculpture produced by an artist that was at the time celebrated primarily for his Western illustrations, the debut of Remington’s original 24-inch model of The Broncho Buster marked a pivotal moment in his career, receiving resounding popular approval and astonishing commercial success. When Remington decided to enlarge the model in 1909, he wrote to Riccardo Bertelli of Roman Bronze Works, “You ought to see the 1½ Broncho Buster… Get ready to retire the small one.” (as quoted in M.D. Greenbaum, Icons of the West: Frederic Remington's Sculpture, Ogdensburg, New York, 1996, p. 152)

Remington completed the plaster model just days before he tragically died of appendicitis. The present work is the 7th cast out of the edition of 19 produced by Roman Bronze Works at the authorization of the artist’s wife, Eva. Standing about 8 inches taller than the original version, these larger casts of The Broncho Buster represent one of the last great achievements by the artist whose advancements in bronze endure as technical triumphs as much as symbols of the great American West. Large versions of The Broncho Buster are rare with many of the casts housed in institutional collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Forth Worth, Texas; Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; Stark Museum of Art, Orange, Texas; and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody, Wyoming.
