Haig Patigian was born Armenian in the former Ottoman Empire, where his parents worked as teachers in an American school. In 1891, he emigrated to the United States. There, he studied at the Hopkins Art Institute in San Francisco from 1899. In 1906/07, he worked with René Paul Marquet (1875-1939) in Paris and finally settled in San Francisco in 1908. He won several awards and was a member of the National Sculptural Society, the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and the Société des Artistes Français. He was a member and twice president of the exclusive Bohemian Club.
Patigian created monuments and busts of American personalities, allegorical sculptures, and architectural sculptural ornaments in marble or bronze in the classical realist style. Among them were statues of General Pershing (1921) and Abraham Lincoln (1928), Friendship for the Olympic Country Club (1925), and a bronze bust of President Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) for the White House.
