TRAVELING SAINT-GAUDENS EXHIBIT

  The following is an excerpt from an ANA Press Release:
  "The first major traveling exhibit of works by the American
  Renaissance sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens will open at
  the American Numismatic Association Money Museum and
  neighboring Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center on August 28
  as part of an 11-city United States tour."

  The tour "features 75 of the sculptor's most famous works --
  including reductions of major outdoor commissions, full-sized
  works cast in bronze, marble and plaster, portrait reliefs,
  decorative objects and coins--an outstanding retrospective
  of the master's work."

  "At the urging of President Theodore Roosevelt, Saint-Gaudens
  created two of the most beautiful U.S. gold coins--the double
  eagle ($20) and eagle ($10). The Liberty design for the $20
  was adapted by the United States Mint in 1987 for its American
  Eagle gold bullion coin."

   Allentown Art Museum
   (Pennsylvania), November 20 - January 18, 2004;

  Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester
