Sid Posing with His Sculptures
Image
Sid standing in the backyard on Waubesa Street among his forest of concrete cast sculptures, like the "Multi-Tiered Pagoda," "Blue Tripod," and "Biomorphic Form." Holding a cigar in his mouth, he is wearing a dark beret, a short-sleeved white button-down shirt, dark trousers, and a ring on his right ring finger. A corn plant is directly in front of him.
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
