In his remarks at the sculpture’s dedication, Zullo said, “Robin has been instrumental in the progress and legitimacy of American Figurative Sculpture. Her forty-plus years of advocating for Anna Huntington and her work are without peer. In the American world of sculpture, a pat on the back by Robin Salmon is the highest compliment.
