Day 17 - A Work of Art

"Follow the Leader - Lillian Vernon

This sculpture is located in Summerville, SC. The volunteering that I do for Sculpture in the South helps to provide sculptures like this. This has always been one of my favorite pieces. Last summer the last figure to the left, the little boy was stolen by someone who wanted the copper. The sad part is that even if someone were to buy it from him, which I doubt anyone would, it would only be worth about $40! Sure, they didn't know that, but I really wish that part had been publicized more so that it would deter people from stealing them. Sculpture in the South will have the artist come back to replicate the boy after this year's show.
