Michael Ricker (1940-2006) was a celebrated and accomplished Colorado based artist and sculptor for more than four decades.  His work has been treasured by hundreds of thousands of collectors as well as dozens of prominent figures and celebrities including former Presidents, athletes, actors and entertainers.  In 1975, Michael began working on the masterpiece that will forever leave his mark as one of the most talented and proficient American artists of all time.   Park City, a 30 foot by 10 foot miniature town depicting life at the turn of the 19th century, was completed in 1986 and presented to former President Gerald Ford.  Ford graciously accepted the "key" to Park City and promised a home for the masterpiece in the Smithsonian Institute.
