Anthony Holand Metal Sculptor & Owner, Tuck and Holand Metal Sculptors A unique talent and skilled sculptor dedicated to the traditional craft of copper repoussé, Tony is best known for his copper weathervanes which are collected worldwide, featured internationally in publications such as LeMonde, Architectural Digest, and the Robb Report and have been exhibited by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as in the National Heritage Museum in Lexington. In 2010 his studio, Tuck and Holand Metal Sculptors, was named by the Governor as one of the “1000 great places in MA.” Tony worked alongside his partner, the late Travis Tuck, for memorable projects including the epic 10ft, 1 ton Nittany Lion weathervane at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium until 2002. Fourteen years later, the studio continues to attract a distinguished clientele drawn to the incredible weathervanes, wall maps and custom sculpture limited only by the imagination and budget of the client.
