"From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Unity. Made of ceramic. Measures 6 high. Artist: Georges Monfils Sponsor: The Sylvia Toth Foundation When this artist conceptualized a design that depicted the unity of cultures and nature that thrive in the Land of Enchantment, he had no idea for the saga he was about to embark on. From the center of the horse's back, the artist wanted rays from the sun to encircle animal drawings inspired by pre-Columbian drawings and carvings. On one side he selected a tableaux that presented the Europeans who settled in this land: Spanish conquistadors, who brought the horse to America five centuries ago, the missionaries, Mexican farmers and Western ranchers. On the other, he chose to represent the predominant native tribes in New Mexico, whose culture was radically changed by the horse: the Navajo, Pueblo and Jicarilla Apache. On the horse's forehead, he placed a green hand, a gesture of friendship and symbol of the eventual union of cultures that took place. To give the full-sized original the representation of monumental unity impact he felt it deserved, the artist, former fashion photoragrapher turned pop artist Georges Monfils, decided not to paint this pony, but to onlay it with tiny Indian seed beads, applied one at a time. This stunning work is covered with over one million five hundred thousand beads -- a feat that took the artist 1,400 hours -- over 100 days to complete. So impressive was the outcome that it was nominated for the Guinness Book of World Records and received the award for the most ambitions Pony."
