"Excellent Reputation"
Story by Blair Schulman
"...Tom Corbin spends his time channeling creativity through his hands. A low-key but highly respected figure in the KC arts scene, his sensitively crafted bronze statues and furnishings carry the texture and romance of a 21st-century Giacometti. Local installations include the Firefighters Memorial and a work at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, but Corbin's work is also permanently enshrined at the United Nations headquarters. Some of his pieces also have homes in private, A-list collections, including those of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor Jack Nicholson and television personality Ellen DeGeneres. One of his statues will even has its own scene in an upcoming episode of HBO's Golden Globe-winning "In Treatment." Another is expected to appear in superstar Beyonce Knowles; upcoming film, "Obsessed."
