FRIEZE ART STAND H3 THE WHITE HORSE LIMITED EDITION
In 2008 Mark Wallinger was awarded the commission for a monumental sculpture for the Ebbsfleet Valley development in Kent. His winning project was for the erection of a white horse, 50 meters high, realistic in all detail – a thoroughbred stallion of immense proportions, standing in a field in the countryside. The project has caught the public imagination both locally and nationally and has enjoyed massive and persistent media attention. Now with full planning permission and a renewed surge of interest in its realisation, the project is entering its final development stage.
This sculpture is the product of state-of-the-art technology: the live, thoroughbred racehorse that is the model for the finished work was 3D scanned in sections, using a white light scanner; this is the first time that a live horse has been scanned. Next, a solid 3D print was produced from which the final mould was made. Each cast is thus a faithful, high-resolution, 3D representation of the living model. The sculpture is 1/10 scale of the real horse and approximately 1/250 scale of the final landmark. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a perfect replica of The White Horse, evoking the spirit of a monument that is destined to become one of the iconic emblems of our age.
