Sabin Howard is a classical figurative sculptor based in New York City,[2] with a studio in Englewood, New Jersey.[3] He is a board member of the National Sculpture Society. His work has been shown at numerous solo and group shows. He is the sculptor for a project entitled "The Weight of Sacrifice" that is one of five finalists for the World War I Memorial in Pershing Park, Washington D.C.[4][5][6][7] His notable works include the recent National WWI Memorial sculpture.[8][9] Howard is the creator of the large-scale pieces Hermes, Aphrodite, and Apollo, as well as many smaller pieces.[10][11] His works are owned by private collectors and museums including The Mount, Edith Wharton's home.[12][13]
Art critic James Cooper wrote in 2012: "Howard’s sculptures have content as well as exquisite form".[14]
Howard co-wrote a book called The Art Of Life with his novelist wife Traci L. Slatton.[15]
As part of a team put together by a young architect, Joseph Weishaar, Sabin was selected to create the sculpture at the National World War I Memorial in Washington D.C.[16] He sculpted the National WWI Memorial, a 60 foot long bronze relief installed in Pershing Park, Washington DC, and formally unveiled on Sep 13, 2024.[17]
