Barney Frank Memorial Sculpture Proposed Did Barney Frank really inspire the artist? Sure there's a resemblance and both the frog and Barney are ridden by fairies .... but a fairy GIRL? That's never happened to Frank. A $600,000 frog sculpture that lights up, gurgles "sounds of nature" and carries a 10-foot fairy girl on its back could soon be greeting Defense Department employees who plan to start working at the $700 million Mark Center in Alexandria, Va. this fall.-- \(usnews.com) "The four art proposals for the bus terminal include works for a wall and sculpture. But the one drawing most attention is the fairy and frog from artist Cheryl Foster. Her proposals describes the sculpture this way: "A 10-foot fairy, using an American Toad as 'transportation,' scurries to the entrance of the station. The interior of the toad is illuminated and the sounds of nature emanate from his throat." She said that Barney Frank inspired her." -- Pentagon Art: $600,000 Gurgling Toad Sculpture You have to admit that the likeness is startling. americandigest.org
