Description
Photograph depicting a bronze statue of Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy. The sculptor was Mexican artist Juan Lombardo-Revera, who also sculpted the Pioneer Woman statue for the National Frontier Trails Museum in Independence, Missouri. The Still statue was originally displayed in the lobby of University Hospital. When that hospital closed it was moved to the KCU Administration Building. During the renovation of that building in 2015/16 the statue was moved to the D' Angelo Library. With the destruction of the Pioneer Woman statue, and other Lombardo-Revera statues being held in private collections, the KCU campus is the only place in Kansas City that this famous Mexican sculptor's work can be publicly viewed.
