Description
In 1981 , photographer Lynn Lennon was commissioned by the Las Colinas Corporation to photograph Kenyan sculptor Robert Glen in his studio in Nairobi . The purpose was to document his making of the mustangs that are now in Williams Square in Las Colinas , Irving , Texas (Mustangs of Las Colinas) . At the time of its installation it was the largest equestrian statue in the world . Glen conceived the idea of making the figures one half of the desired size . The pieces would then be shipped to England to a facility outside of London . There, through a mechanical process , they would be enlarged to their finished size and then taken to the foundry in Basingstoke , England . After several pieces had gone through this process , it was deemed impractical . At the time this series of photographs was made , the early process was in use .
