Alan Cottrill was born in 1952 and raised in the Appalachian region of Ohio. His father was a milkman and mother a homemaker. Alan was the first in his family to graduate high school. After a stint in college, the army, and truck driving Alan founded a successful fast food chain and soon became an international entrepreneur. He was invited by the US Department of Commerce to participate in various trade missions throughout the world. Through these travels, Alan was able to visit the world’s major art museums and galleries. In addition Alan became an avid art collector and painted in his spare time.
In 1990 Alan touched clay for the first time and declared “this is the mistress I’ve traveled the world in search of.” He sold his business interests and dedicated himself full-time to becoming one of the finest figurative sculptors in the world. Toward that end, Alan moved to New York City and studied night and day at the renowned Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. He also studied Human Anatomy at Columbia Medical Center. During his studies Alan took numerous trips to Europe to study the world’s greatest sculptures in person.
Lifelong friend Charles Leasure and Alan founded in 1996 the bronze casting foundry Coopermill Bronzeworks in Zanesville, Ohio. To date they have cast well over 500 of Alan’s statues into bronze as well as hundreds of other sculptor’s work.
Alan approaches his art with the same determination and passion that led to his successes in business- sculpting seven days a week with a whirlwind energy that is unequalled. Intense, ambitious, and goal driven, Alan has arguably the largest body of work of bronze statues by any living sculptor with commissioned monuments throughout the United States. Alan’s work has been described as being powerful, virile, and full of life, energy, and complexity.
Alan maintains a studio/gallery in Zanesville, Ohio that is visited by thousands of tourists a year.

Located in Beachwood, OH
Mario Spampinato (Italian 1912–2000)
Nude
Bronze
Signed on base
17.5 in. h. x 5.75 in. w. x 6 in. d.
The artist was born, raised and trained in Italy. During one of his exhibits (at San Marcos in Rome) the Director of a New York Gallery asked him to come to New York to work for him. The American Consul, before issuing his visa, asked Spampinato to create a bust of him. In exchange, the Consul paid for his passage on the boat to New York. In New York, he worked with his brother Clemente Spampinato who is a well known sculptor as well.
After moving to Chicago in 1954, he discovered that there was no foundry in the Midwest that could cast his bronzes. So, he opened his own foundry called the Spampinato Art Foundry, casting in the lost wax process. He also started his own private school (Spampinato Art Workshop, Ltd) and did some teaching at the University of Chicago and conducted seminars at Lawrence University in Kansas.
Many of his own works are pictured and cataloged in Volumes 2 & 3 of Bronzes: Sculptors and Founders, 1800-1930 by Harold Berman.
Between 1959 and 1967, Spampinato recast a number of Charles M Russell...
