Special Uncoin Sculpture Malres Slop At the Kentvclry Museum

A shining bronze sculpture of Kentucky native and sixteenth Uniled States president, Abraham Li ncoln, will be exhibited at The Kentucky Museum through Dec. 11 , 1998.

The bronze bust, measuring 21" high and 12"wide, was created by interna tionally acclaimed sculptor Robertl3erks for p lacement within the Kentucky His tory Center, a $26 million history museum and research library currently under construction in Frankfort. Until the center opens in spring 1999, the sculpture, tilled "Meet Mr. Lincoln," is traveling across the state.

"Meet Mr. Lincoln" is among more than 300 sculptures and monuments cre ated by Berks, whose previous works include a monument to physicist Albert Einstein at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C, and an eight foot head of President John F. Kennedy, sit uated within the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, also in the nation'scapHal. Berks has been acclaimed by The New Yo rk Times as the "Capital's Michelangelo" for his twelve works on view wit hin Washington, D.C Other sculptures include subjects ranging from Martin Lut her King Jr. and Franklin D. Roosevelt to Johnny Carson and Frank Sinatra.

Commenting about his crea tion, Berks said, " In this sculpture, I have given the human side of Lincoln as well as his g reatness. With its tex ture you get the fee li ng of the man's beal, his complexity, that special subtle quality. He looks a little incredulous in this bust, with a slightl y humorous quality about him."

In addition to Berks bust of Lincoln, a number of items, primarily from the Kentucky Library's collections, are also on d isplay. They include pri nts, photo graphs, broadsides, sheet music, stamps a nd first-day cancellations, diary ex cerpts and more.

And, Rosa lyn Stamps, a long-time supporter of the Kentucky Library and Mu seum, has also loaned a small bust of Lincoln to be included in the exhibi,

"Meet Mr. Lincoln" may be viewed during museum hours: 9:30 - 4:00 Tues. - Sa !., 1:00-4:00 Sun.
