Artist: Gary Lee Price
Title: Butch Cassidy Bench
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: 49"h x 68"w

The Montpelier Community Foundation approached Price to create a Butch Cassidy bench for a potential downtown historical park. Price was excited about doing such an iconic figure in Old West folklore. The full size bronzed bench depicts a sitting Butch holding an 1896 Morgan silver dollar in one hand and a bag of money in the other. 

Part of Price's Great Contributor series, this is a bronze sculpture of Butch Cassidy sitting on a bench. The man is dressed in a vest, shirt, and trousers, with a hat on his head. He has a cheerful expression and a relaxed posture, with both arms resting on the back of the bench. In one hand he holds a bag of money, and in the other hand he holds a silver coin. This realistic and lively sculpture captures the essence Cassidy, inviting viewers to sit with him and appreciate his life.
