Remarks:
This sculpture is one of three Dorothy sculptures carved by the artist from 1990 to 1992. The original sculpture for Watson Park was vandalized and destroyed; a second was stolen (April 27, 1993), thrown into the Wichita River. Although subsequently found by fisherman, the second statue sustained severe damage (including a chipped foot, broken base and cracked concrete pad). This third sculpture was created specifically for the Wichita River Festival's "Walk with Dorothy" program. The sculpture was commissioned by the Wichita Park Alliance.
