"We are very proud to have been a part of this historic project," said Richard Rist, owner of The Large Art Company.
This is one of the most important national monuments in the United States. Not only is this project important in terms of its civil rights history, but it is also one of the largest figurative sculpture displays in the country. The list of artists or art companies that can claim a piece in a museum is very short. And the list of artists that can claim a centerpiece to a museum is only a small fraction of those and includes many household names. On May 17, 2007 that short list now includes The Large Art Company. We are honored and humbled by the entire experience," Mr. Rist continued.
