When a story was run in a national philanthropic journal about the sculpture, the Foundation received a number of inquires about obtaining replicas. In 1993 the Foundation, which had purchased the copyright to the Pig's image in the original contract, commissioned Georgia to create a similar, but not exact, sculpture in an edition of 15. An agreement was reached between the Artist and the foundation that these replications could be sold only to organizations that would display the sculpture in a public place and use the funds collected for some worthy social service, as are the funds collected in Seattle. To date there have been two of these sculptures purchased and displayed: 1993: The Wholey Fish and Meat Market 1501 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (412) 391-3737 1995:The Independence Seaport Museum 211 South Columbus Blvd. &Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (215) 925-5439 Close I http://www.georgiagerber.com/public_loca_list.html 8/1/2005
