Sabin Howard is a classical figurative sculptor based in New York City and is a board member of the national Sculpture Society. He is the sculptor for a project entitled "The Weight of Sacrifice" that is one of five finalists for the World War I Memorial in Pershing Park, Washington D.C. His notable works include the recent national WWI memorial sculpture. Howard is the creator of the large-scale pieces Hermes, Aphrodite and Apollo, as well as many smaller pieces. His works are owned by private collectors and museums including The Mount, Edith Wharton's home. Art critic James Cooper wrote in 2012: "Howard's sculptures have content as well as exquisite form". He is currently sculpting the National WWI Memorial, a 60 foot long bronze relief to be installed in Pershing Park, Washington D.C. In his studio, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, and others all demonstrate the journey we trace from being fragmented to becoming complete. Howard's aesthetic is focused on timeless appeal and harmony.
