Klyver’s Patty
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 22nd, 2007
This is a good photograph of the former Pennsylvania art professor Richard Klyver’s solid bronze sculpture, which is permanently housed at the International Cryptozoology Museum. Klyver created the Bigfoot, needless to say, from his sense of the Sasquatch shown in the Patterson-Gimlin footage.
The sculpture was recently on temporary display in Watertown, Massachusetts. This photo was taken at the Mass Monster Mash, October 12, 2007, by Don Keating. Used with his permission.

hey loren wow great new photo of you at mass monster with the patty creature statue it looks awesome.. thanks bill green
Loren, are their replicas of that statue that can be purchased?
Klyver made a limited set of ten, and they are several thousands of dollars each. His work is in some of the finer galleries around the world. He only deals with serious collectors, and few people show that level of interest.
This bronze was a donation to the museum several years ago.
So Loren you own one of these statues? Because me and my dad are going to your cryptozoology museum in the summer and we like to see it!!!
Thanks for the info. That is really one heck of a nice piece of work. Too bad there aren’t more realistic looking statues like that around that could be purchased.
Christmas is coming up ya know. I’d love to have something like that.
Jeff Johnson does the best Patty Modelkit or Statue. I am fortunate enough to own his Patty bigfoot and lochness model kits. Extremely well done.
Johnson makes a heck of a cool Dunkleosteus, too. I carried one around with me earlier this year at a writer’s conference as a conversation starter. It worked very well.
