Lincoln Sculpture Acquired – The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, NYC, has acquired one of only 16 known casts of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Abraham Lincoln,
the Man (Standing Lincoln), a rare authorized reduction of the large bronze monument that the sculptor
originally created for Lincoln Park in Chicago between 1884 and 1887. The 40-1/2" high bronze statuette
shows Lincoln-full figure, hand on lapel and head bowed-standing in front of a klismos-type chair of
state. The sculpture is displayed in the Peter M. Sacerdote Gallery in the new American Wing Galleries. |
