A LITTLE MORE ABOUT DAVID ADICKES, Painter &Sculptor
David Adickes is literally a living legend. He is best known for his massive sculptures of US Presidents and a 67 foot Sam Houston that stands on I-45 going south. He is also an accomplished painter as one of his most famous collectors was the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. David attended Picasso’s 80th Birthday and visited with Salvador Dali in Spain. His stories of the art world are profound and his legacy in Houston will live forever.
Adickes' studio in his River Oaks home can’t begin to contain his canvases. Some finished pieces hang; others are tucked into corners or leaning against walls awaiting completion. A large sculpture looms in the middle of the room. More visible is Adickes’ Nance Street workspace, an oft-observed assortment of oversized presidential heads sitting outside like eggs inside a nest of freeways and ramps where Interstates 10 and 69 intertwine.|
At 94, Adickes takes measured, shuffling steps. But his output remains astonishing as he continues to add to an enormous — both in scope and volume — amount of work. “I still do something every day,” he says, with a little shrug. “I don’t know what else I’d do.”
