An attractive bust of Churchill, after the design by Oscar Nemon, commemorating the tenth IBM lecture, delivered at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri - the site of Churchill's famous 1946 "Iron Curtain" speech. Nemon's bust of Churchill was released in 1965. The composition is similar to the design in Nemon's "Married Love", which depicted Winston and Clementine sitting together, produced in 1978. It is also the basis for the bust of Churchill erected in the US Capitol in 2013. Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes. Marble-style resin head and shoulders bust, 20 x 18 cm, on wooden plinth, 9 x 12. 5 cm, with metal plaque "tenth I.B.M. lecture February 1, 1993. Westminster College". In fine condition.
