The DaVinci horse tribute was made in upstate NY somewhere I believe. The project was funded by a Meijer foundation. A proof of concept, basically a slightly larger than life horse, was cast in bronze, and then the colossal bronze versions were made.

Contrary to the ridiculous lies of NY (and apparently AP) media a-holes, the proof and one of the colossi were moved to the Grand Rapids MI area, to Meijer Gardens, and eventually the proof was given to another museum or park somewhere.

The other colossus went to Milan as a gift.

Years earlier there was a special exhibition of Pietro Perugino’s work in the museum in Grand Rapids, and the NY media reaction was, never has a more important exhibition been done in a less important place.
