Heisman trophy designer's family hits jackpot
On the day that another in long line of
elite players established his place in college football lore by winning the
Heisman Trophy, the original plaster cast of the award sold at auction
Saturday in New York for $228,000.
The plaster model has been used for
decades to craft the award given annually to the nation's top college
football player. Southern California running back Reggie Bush was presented
the 2005 Heisman Saturday in a nationally-televised ceremony in Manhattan.
The cast was put up for sale by the
family of Frank Eliscu, the artist who came up with the familiar design of a
twisting runner, the ball tucked in his left arm and his right arm extended
to ward off imaginary tacklers. The identity of the buyer was not
immediately make public.
Eliscu was 23 when members of the
Downtown Athletic Club selected him to design their trophy in 1935. He
received a $200 fee for creating the iconic award, which was his first
commissioned work.
Eliscu's later efforts ranged in scale
from the inaugural medals of President Gerald Ford and Vice President Nelson
Rockefeller to the "Cascade of Books" above the entrance to the James
Madison Building of the Library of Congress.
