This talk will cover not only the exhibition, Monumental, but also my journey to find a place in the world of sculpture, leading to a lifelong career creating statuary that pays homage to people that have done great things, many of whom have indeed changed history." - Eugene Daub Among the twelve of Daub’s monumental works chronicled by this exhibition are Lewis & Clark, Kansas City, Missouri; Rosa Parks, US Capitol, Washington, D.C.; Harry Bridges, ILWU Union Hall, Wilmington, CA; Thomas Jefferson, University of Virginia, and Phineas Banning, Banning’s Landing, Wilmington, CA. Eugene Daub is based in San Pedro, CA. His first job in sculpture was for The Franklin Mint where he developed skills in relief sculpture. He is the designer of the first Philadelphia Liberty Medal, which that city awards every year to a champion of world peace. Daub has exhibited extensively and has works in numerous public collections including the Helsinki Art Museum, the British Museum; the Smithsonian Institution; The National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol, and the United States National Park Service. Daub has created over 40 major monuments in the U.S. in the last 30 years and is a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society.
