Wendy Klemperer, an artist who works with salvaged metals, created the figure of a calling elk, according to Sapinsky who said she reported the theft to state police at Richfield Springs on Monday October 14 (2013).
Klemperer, who works in Brooklyn and Keene, N.H., said the stolen elk sculpture measures about 10-by-10-by-4 feet and weighs about 800 to 1,000 pounds. She told troopers the estimated value was about $20,000.
The date of the theft isn’t known but may have been about a week ago, Sapinksy said. The theft must have been well-planned because of the size and weight of the work, she said.
