ND Museum of Art reunited with missing sculpture

A piece of art that disappeared from the Grand Forks landscape last October has been found.

The North Dakota Museum of Art says the so-called Garden Wheel disappeared Halloween weekend of 2022. The sculpture has been in the garden since the late 1990s without incident. Last week the University of North Dakota Police Department reported that two people spotted it leaning up against a dumpster behind the Southgate Casino Bar and Grill.

Although the work has some damaged museum officials believe it is repairable. The Museum started a GoFundMe campaign to replace the sculpture, but will now close the campaign and use the funds to fix the sculpture.

The museum has been in contact with the artist – Elizabeth MacDonald about possible repairs.
