City of Presidents

Yesterday the blog was about the scrap iron art of John Lopez. Today we continue with the work of this amazing artist. While in Rapid City, South Dakota we saw sculptures of former presidents on the street corners in the downtown area. All the presidents are represented except Mr. Obama. His sculpture will be done after the completion of his term in office. Twelve of the sculptures have been done by John Lopez. Here are a few of them.

John F Kennedy and John Jr.

Ulysses S Grant
Theodore Roosevelt

John Adams

William Henry Harrison


James Garfield

Warren G Harding

If you are interested in learning more about John Lopez and his work please visit his blog at johnlopezstudio.blogspot.com  and visit johnlopezstudio.com  If you would like to see all the president statues in Rapid City please go to presidentsusa.net and there is a gallery of all the sculptures. I hope you have enjoyed the works of John Lopez as much as I have. This was a small sampling of his work and I encourage you to check out more of his art.
