Catalogue Essay
Only the initial 19 produced in the original lifetime casting were distributed as awards between 1991-95 by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. There were two posthumous castings by other fabricators, including approximately 12 in 2002-06 and 100 in 2012, although as of this date, the foundation has no plans to distribute them.
