bronze head of artist's mother

Liz West

When I was a kid, this bronze head stood in our library. I always liked it. My father said it had been created by his partner's father. At the time, my father and a man named Pat O'Connor owned an art gallery together. Dad said that the father was one of the sculptors who worked on one of the big cathedrals in New York. I now think this was Andrew O'Connor, who worked on the doors of St. Bartholomew's in NY. He lived at the right time and his work looks similar. Most of his work was big memorial pieces, but this head is small.
