The Hill Climber
''The Hill Climber'' is a public artwork by American artist Jeff Decker located on the grounds of the Harley Davidson Museum, which is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.
==Description==
''The Hill Climber'' is a 5,000 pound bronze welded sculpture that stands 16 feet tall and was created by Jeff Decker. Decker is a Utah-based artist, historian and Harley enthusiast. This sculpture is an enlarged life and 1/2 size of his original called, ''By the Horns''; a sculpture referencing the similarities of bull riding and the sport hill climbing.〔(OnMilwaukee.com Milwaukee Buzz: Your thoughts on the Hill climber biker? )〕 This was a somewhat collaborative piece done with painter David Uhl, another artist licensed by Harley Davidson. The rider is shown participating in a sport called hill climbing, popular in the 1920s and 30’s. The figure is free of fear in his eyes as one foot is being swept off the bike and his right arm extends backwards."He is crashing," Decker said of the helmet less young rider. "But every hill climber crashes. It's part of the race."〔(The Dynamic Hill Climber - Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com )〕 Hill climbers were known to race up hills nicknamed the “widow maker” because of the danger and high rate of injury involved in this sport. The sculpture portrays a vintage Harley rider frozen in a skyward wheelie on a DAH bike, one of only six in the world. A documentation to the artist's friendship with Willie and Nancy Davidson can be seen on the gear drive that is inscribed with "Willie G."
