I wonder how many more George Rhodes sculptures there are that I haven't seen yet...


ETA: GAH! Rhoads. Not Rhodes.

I love Rhodes as well, but I also find Arthur Ganson to be complimentary to his work: albeit with more pathos sometimes.

Yes, I quite like Ganson, too, but Rhodes is my 1st love. :)

Oh! This reminds me: How did you (or the group you were doing it with) get involved in maintaining the Kendall Band? I keep wanting to fix Rhodes' works, which get out of whack over time...

Heh. I got phenomenally lucky: a few months out of art school, a dear friend called me up, asking if I wanted to work for the guy who made the 'Band. In between making new works, the T would call us up a couple times a year, asking us to make repairs. I'm not sure what's going on these days: AFAIK, the T has jobbed out the work to some art council or another.
I'm not sure what to suggest, apart from writing to Rhodes and explaining what you want to do, and what your qualifications are. It's entirely likely that he's getting on in years, and wouldn't mind an understudy to help preserve his legacy.
Find me at the end of summer party and we can chat one-on-one about it.

Duh.
