A giant statue of a feather has been taken from the Art Gallery of Guelph's outdoor Sculpture Park
The University of Guelph says the sculpture of an eight-foot tall bronze rendition of a crow's feather is no longer in its installed spot.
"Feather has been an important landmark in the sculpture park and the wider city for almost three decades," Shauna McCabe, the executive director of the Art Gallery of Guelph, said in a news release.
"To have a work by a renowned Canadian artist forcibly removed and taken is extremely disheartening for the gallery as well as our partners – the university, city, and Upper Grand District School Board. An artwork like this becomes not only part of the national cultural landscape but part of the everyday lives of community members."
The piece was created in 1997 by John Greer, a Canadian sculptor, and made specifically for the Art Gallery of Guelph.
A possible timeline on the theft is not known.
