White, Fritz (American, 1930-2010), Man of Two Spirits, c.1969 or slightly before, cast bronze on wood base, statue itself 5.5 inches tall, total height with base is 12.4 inches tall, with marks on head reverse FW, copyright, and "0". This was the only cast this cataloguer was able to find of this apparently very rare or unique bronze developed by White early in his career, before truly producing in earnest. Alluded to in the title, Man of Two Spirits represents a queer member of The Blackfeet Tribe. Provenance: acquired directly from the artist in April 1969 by the current consignor, who got the piece while on assignment to write an article on White for a Western magazine (see last photos for images of the article).
