My husband Sabin Howard’s sculpture

He may drive me crazy: leaving his dirty bicycle shorts on the back of the dining room chair, turning off the heaters in the winter so that the apartment stays in the frigid 50’s, over-peppering the food he cooks until my tongue swells and I can barely swallow, staring at me blankly when I suggest that there is no such as thing as a Shopping Fairy who magically leaves groceries in the fridge for him to consume (has he never considered that someone, a.k.a. moi, lugs home the 5000 calories he ingests daily?)… But Sabin Howard is the greatest living figurative sculptor.

Sabin creates beauty, and I respect that.

And a huge thank you to Don, who was indispensable; Margery, who worked hard and loyally; Geoffrey, who drove 3.5 hours; Harrison, who flew in from Florida; Daniel G., who gave the best introduction ever; Pierre, who brought a terrific crew; the good folks from 110; Sarah, who worked unstintingly; Christine, who was on the Madeleine; Jason, Chris, and Ismail, who made it flow; Terrence and Marc, who made it possible. Special thanks to James Mansfield of West Village Construction, who worked magic on the space, and to Verde Flowers of Bruckner Boulevard, who made the place gorgeous with blossoms. My love and gratitude to everyone who attended and lent such joy to the occasion.

APOLLO by Sabin Howard
It’s not easy to be married to a great artist. The steely internal fortitude necessary for creating a masterful work of art isn’t always conducive to the reciprocity and mutuality of a working marriage. It’s probably no easier to be married to an author. We’re in our heads a lot. Sabin claims I spend half the time time I’m with him having a conversation with myself. A rich inner life, like anything else, has two sharp edges.
But then I get to see Sabin’s work: and it is beautiful. Beautiful like the David, like anything Praxiteles or Canova or Carpeaux or Bernini created. Beauty is its own reward. Above is the APOLLO, in pieces. I’ve seen him whole, too. He’s a feast for the mind, the eye and the heart.
