Eagle sculpture seeks quiet after fame at festival
Howard says the artist behind the eagle is tired of publicity and may attend the Grant Wood Art Festival. The bronze, moved through the Rogers front door in December, will be shown with the festival but must stay secured at all times. Reproductions are priced around 25000, and a security system limits travel away from Anamosa.
