Information has come to light on 3 maquettes; RED WING, ALTO and SALUTE TO KNOWLEDGE.
RED WING and ALTO came to the current owners through the Timmerman estate. Since both of these pieces were originally installed at the Aurora Corporate Plaza at S Peoria and S Quentin in Aurora, the fact that they remained together as maquettes is quite interesting.
SALUTE TO KNOWLEDGE, also called ONLY YOU (TRIBUTE TO KNOWLEDGE) in KIPP's notes, came up for auction this past week. It looks to be in great shape and I hope it finds an appreciative home.
With fond memories of meeting Lyman the year he dedicated Salute to Knowledge at the Grosse Pointe Library, we are now proud owners of the maquette for Salute to Knowledge.
ReplyDeleteSALUTE TO KNOWLEDGE, also called ONLY YOU (TRIBUTE TO KNOWLEDGE) maquette was bought by Shirley & Frank Piku, original owners of sculpture BLUE SMOKE. A lasting remembrance of Lyman Kipp.
