Remarks:
The artists were welders at Belgrade Steel Tank, and the sculpture was done as a teaching exercise. The sculpture was given to Stan Rudie, a local fisherman, for display. Locals often dress the sculpture according to the season, giving it a hat and muffler in the winter. IAS image files depict the sculpture with a fishing spear and speared fish in the proper right hand.
