Known for his aversion to suits, Gerry's casual demeanor reflects his down-to-earth approach, yet his achievements in the retail world and the equestrian sphere highlight his formidable drive and vision. In this sculpted tribute, Gerry’s expression exudes warmth, echoing his pioneering role in transforming Australia's retail industry with the success of Harvey Norman and his unwavering commitment to and love of people. The bust also hints at his passion for horse breeding, an enterprise he embraced later in life, where he became a leading figure with Baramul Stud and helped revitalize the 'Magic Millions' auction house. This sculpture honors not only a key figure in Australian business but a man whose ventures into new fields have left an indelible impact.Exhibitions
