Caveats
In the foreword to Discovering Pittsburgh’s Sculpture, the authors state that the works they cover will be readily accessible to the public (which excludes the Carnegie Museum of Art sculpture collection, which, incidentally, was the Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute when the book was published).
Other categories that they acknowledge as plentiful but will only be represented by a few examples are funerary monuments and architectural sculpture. I’m probably going to also make these caveats and include one more– there will only be a few dinosaurs represented.
The dinosaurs, which, like many other cities starting with Chicago’s cows, were 100 statues painted by various artists and placed all over the city. They have been sold to benefit the Carnegie Museums, and quite a few are still on display. While at one time I found them really interesting (thought about trying to get a picture of me with all of them until I realized there was one in the airport past the security checkpoint), there’s just too many and I don’t want this to be a Pittsburgh Dinosaur Statue blog.
