Maybe a wax Lincoln sculpture wasn’t the best idea during DC’s first week of summer heat
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The artist, Sandy Williams IV, always intended for the statue to melt, saying “by melting these wax versions of famous monuments, people are given agency over these forms that are normally (legally) untouchable.” eastcityart.com/art-news/40acr…
