Two bronze horse sculptures, named Paint and Henry, by Deborah Butterfield, 1987

These semi-abstract horse sculptures by Deborah Butterfield allude to the history of the Neiman Marcus department store. In 1907, two competing department store owners, Herbert Marcus Sr. and A. Harris, teamed up to open a new department store in Dallas. The horses evoke both the Texan landscape and the retailers’ partnership. Butterfield is especially well known for her sculptures of horses, which she has been creating since the early 1980s.
