Curious why this list focuses on public sculptures, as opposed to List of sculptures by Daniel Chester French or similar? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: This does not include the busts and other sculptures (such as Statue of Lewis Cass) that were created for private and institutional collections. This is just the public art. --In actu (Guerillero) Parlez Moi 15:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
