Lady Liberty (1973) 

David Wilkens

DESCRIPTION:  reinforced concrete and plaster sculpture ensemble of Lady Liberty flanked by two Spanish-American war soldiers, mounted on a 10-foot platform

This David Wilkens sculpture replaces Roger Noble Burnham's 1950 marble sculpture ensemble for the Spanish-American War Memorial.  Burnham's original sculpture was seriously damaged in the 1971 Sylmar-San Fernando earthquake, and Wilkens' replacement sculpture, Lady Liberty, is referred to as a partial "re-creation" of Burnham's original that was commissioned by the United Spanish War Veterans and also called Spirit of '98.
