Burgher

Untitled (Burgher With Extended Arm) by Liz Glynn.

Auguste Rodin's sculpture, The Burghers of Calais commemorated the sacrifice of the town's leaders after it was conquered by invaders. Glynn made casts of one of the figures. She then broke apart and recombined its elements, casting it again in bronze.

 

The Burgher's halo is over the entrance of the Gas Building across the street.
