Marilyn Wheaton
Wheaton talked about the Museum and sculpture garden and the history of some of the pieces. She described how one of the most iconic pieces "Black Elk", which now welcomes visitors to the garden, was commissioned as one of the last pieces Fredericks made. The man who commissioned the piece then moved to California and put the piece in storage in Detroit.
Wheaton told how "Black Elk" was rediscovered and the effort to have it loaned to the SVSU museum. The most interesting part of the story was how the piece was shipped to SVSU. When the trucker learned it would not fit under all bridges on the most direct route, they had a special cradle built to lay the piece down. It was then driven on secondary roads and eventually down Center Avenue in Bay City!
Many of Fredericks pieces can be viewed in the Tri-City area. Dow Gardens is home to the "Saints and Sinners" collection as well as the "Leaping Gazelle". "Flying Wild Geese" can be seen in the Saginaw Art Museum garden. Many of the original pieces, models, workshop and other pieces are found at the SVSU Fredericks Museum.
Wheaton also talked about the various programs, workshops and other events presented by SVSU Museum, "A Jewel In Our Midst, Where an Artist's Legacy Is Preserved".
