Mustangs of Las Colinas

The sculpture commemorates the wild mustangs that were historically important inhabitants of much of Texas. It portrays a group at 1.5 times life size, running through a watercourse, with fountains giving the effect of water splashed by the animals’ hooves. The horses are intended to represent the drive, initiative and unfettered lifestyle that were fundamental to the state in its pioneer days.

該雕塑紀念野生野馬,這是歷史上重要的德克薩斯州居民。它描繪了一個生命大小為1.5倍的群體,穿過水道,噴泉帶來了動物蹄子濺水的效果。這些馬旨在代表在其先驅時代對國家至關重要的驅動力,主動性和無拘無束的生活方式。




The work was commissioned in 1976 and installed in 1984. SWA Group’s design created a shallow watercourse extending 400 feet (130 m) from northeast to southwest across Williams Square, a gently sloping granite-paved open space about 300 feet (110 m) square. The plaza setting for the sculpture won a National Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects.

該工程於1976年投入使用,於1984年安裝.SWA集團的設計創造了一條淺水河道,從東北向西南延伸400英尺(130米)穿過威廉姆斯廣場,這是一個平緩的傾斜花崗岩鋪成的開放空間,面積約300英尺(110米)。雕塑的廣場設置獲得了美國景觀建築師協會頒發的國家榮譽獎。

The buildings around the square rise 358 feet (26 floors) on the north and 217 feet (14 floors) on the east and west sides, with the south side open to O’Connor Boulevard. The sculpture is substantial, but the scale of the surrounding structures keeps it from dominating the space.

廣場周圍的建築物北面358英尺(26層),東西兩側217英尺(14層),南側通向奧康納大道。雕塑是實實在在的,但周圍結構的規模使它不能佔據空間。

The Mustangs of Las Colinas Museum is located adjacent to the sculpture, in East Tower at Williams Square Plaza. The museum features exhibits and a film about the work’s creation, as well as additional sculptures by Robert Glen.

Las Colinas博物館的Mustangs毗鄰雕塑,位於威廉姆斯廣場廣場的東塔。博物館展出了有關作品創作的展覽和電影,以及Robert Glen的其他雕塑作品。
