I too was curious about Sexton because of some castings I have. All I was able to find through Google was at http://www.mobar.org/25a1b0c2-ee66-4fdc-9b42-e7041150546f.aspx

"On April 16, 2003, Sexton MetalCraft, Inc., a Missouri corporation, the principal office located at 9700 E. 56th Street, Raytown, MO 64133 (the "Corporation") was dissolved as of April 16, 2003 in accordance with the General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri...."

I worked for Sexton's back in the early 70's and my brother worked for them a few years before. They specialized in cast aluminum wall decor. They had their own foundry, paint booths, and warehouse area. I never met the man who designed the castings but I would seem him occassionally in the shop carrying what appeared to be a final sculpture, done in clay I believe, getting it ready to become a mold for a new product. I recall some sort of burnishing machine where he would prep the final mold. You will see some Sexton copies out there too. They never look as good as the real deal.

The man's name was Jack Dieckman and also Mr. Sexton's wife made many things for the company.

Hello, my name is Tim Dieckman, the youngest son of Jack Dieckman. My Father is the designer of the Sexton Metalcraft art. He produced hundreds of designs over his 40+ years at Sextonโ€™s and still paints daily at 86 years old. He enjoyed his time at Sextonโ€™s and developed close friendships with a lot of folks in the foundry and other areas over the years. I visited him at work several times as a kid and was absolutely fascinated by the design and production process. But his artistic career is so much bigger than just Sextonโ€™s.

Thank you for the history lesson, Tim D. Dieckmann! ! I absolutely adore your fathers metal art. I recently purchased a home with the contents and found the metal wine bottle sculpture in a box! One piece has three connecting battles and two individual smaller bottles I believe that is the complete set now, if I could only find the three cats!

How can a casting agency help artists?

Casting agencies allow artists to find and submit themselves for upcoming gigs and castings that otherwise might not be available to the artist. For a small fee artists can get as many castings as they want and do not have to deal with any contracts or commissions from the casting agency. It is simply another means of finding work.
