This $5 million sculpture has been in the news recently when it was announced that it will be moved into the Arkansas Arts Center when that building in MacArthur Park is renovated. Do you know where the artwork is today?
Hint: At 11 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 1,200 pounds, the bronze is one of six in a series by the famous son of a British mining engineer. The head and face of the artist's original model, which he called Winged Figure, combined part of a bird's shoulder bone with clay.
Hint 2: It stands at the intersection of two old Little Rock streets, already on maps in 1822. One was named after the Louisiana Purchase of 1803; the other was Orange Street.
