In Statues of Women, Numbers Aren't the Story
1993
Overview
That statue is not the only depiction of a woman Augustus Saint-Gaudens did for New York. His statue of Diana stood for decades on Madison Square Garden. Perhaps because this bold portrayal of the huntress crowned New York's most popular forum for sports, including political conventions, then a virtually all-male sport, Diana has been judged \"the best loved statue ever erected in the city.\" The original disappeared with the demolition of Stanford White's Garden at Madison Square. Yet to display this important statue, even through a recasting, could be a source of rectification of what you label \"gender imbalance.\" The legendary Diana represents as authentic an homage to the great capacities and obscured recognition of women in athletics as would renderings of deserving sports champions.
