 * KeepThis article should not be deleted. It was created in response to Wikipedia:WikiProject Public Art (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Public_Art) which aims to: " encourage the creation of accurate, informative, and up-to-date articles about public art."  The Morgan Horse Sculpture is in the public domain, is prominently displayed in front of the well known Triton Museum, and is significant in the history of the museum.  Additionally the artist is well known in the sculpture world, and I am in the process of creating an article about him.Wisteriagarden (talk) 16:58, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
