Statue graveyard?

Hi Mike -

Funny! I don't remember seeing these when I was there two summers ago. I do recall that they used to have a statue graveyard in a back area. It was weird seeing arms, legs, torsoes etc of statuary laying around in a pile.

Have you visited the Cah D'ZHan (Ringling mansion)? There's a wonderful over-lifesize full-length figurative by Robert Henri in (I think )the dining room - called "Salome". Very dramatic and beautifully done.
