Elephants
on the Road Again
Two cast bronze elephants created
by artist Peter Woytuk are strapped in Wednesday for their impending
voyage to a park in Santa Fe, N.M. There the sculptures will be part of a
Woytuk exhibit. The Anne Reed Gallery brought the two elephants to
Ketchum, and over the course of two years the pachyderms made many friends
in the valley. The two-ton male and one-ton female were cast in China as
single pieces, a process that is very rare, said L’Anne Gilman of Anne
Reed Gallery. Gilman is pictured here atop the lead animal as the driver
straps the sculpture down for the trip. Asked what route the truck would
take, Gilman said they would go whichever way the height of the elephants
wasn’t an issue. Gilman expects the gallery will receive new Woytuk pieces
next week. Express photo by David N. Seelig
