NEW BOOK: PORTRAITS, METALS, AND MONUMENTS

A group of dedicated San Pedro collaborators are raising money to publish the first comprehensive book dedicated to the work of renowned sculptor and San Pedro resident, Eugene Daub. Titled, Portraits, Metals, and Monuments, this book documents Daub's career, his dedication to capturing the profound humanity of historical figures, and his significant contributions to public art.

The Foreword of this 120-page book is authored by American Art critic Wolfgang Marby and it features more than 100 photographs of Daub's public art work and is edited by Andrea Serna.

In 2021, Daub won the Marcel Jovine President's Prize for a realistic work, in the form of a bas-relief of Civil Rights leader and legendary member of Congress, John Lewis.

In 2019, Daub completed a bronze statue of Harry Bridges. Within the past 30 years Daub has designed and created many public art commissions for the U.S. government, private foundations, universities and corporations and has exhibited in the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institute, among other locations.

In 2013, a monument he completed of another Civil Rights icon, Rosa Parks, was installed in the statuary hall of the U.S. Congress.

His previous commissions include Harvey Milk, young Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson. The artist has built his reputation on classically styled figurative works. His accomplishments have been recognized through numerous awards in full figure, monumental and bas relief sculpture. He serves on the board of the National Sculpture Society and has taught sculpture around the country for years.
