Description
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the film ROCKY, Schomberg Studios is offering “The Making of the ROCKY Statue” by A. Thomas Schomberg, sculptor of the original, monumental ROCKY Statue. Our book contains rare, historical, and never-before-seen photos documenting the creation of the ROCKY Statue: from first ideas, to modeling and development, foundry casting, installations at the PHL Museum of Art and beyond, and the phenomenon that the ROCKY Statue has become today! Some of our unique photos include those of Sylvester Stallone modeling for the sculptor, photos from Mr. Stallone’s gym, and other notable historical images related to the Statue’s creation.
The book contains a thoughtful foreword by Dr. Paul Farber, Director and Co-Founder of Monument Lab and Curator of “Rising Up: ROCKY and the Making of Monuments” (PHL Museum of Art). And throughout the book A. Thomas Schomberg shares his personal insights and memories creating the ROCKY Statue. But the ROCKY Statue wouldn’t be the iconic statue that it is without dedicated friends and fans – young and old, at home and around the world. We’ve reserved a special section with some of their images and stories. “The Making of the ROCKY Statue” is a soft cover, high-resolution, quality bespoke museum piece - a true collector’s item and a must for any ROCKY Statue fan.
