Lincoln Departing the deCordova in October /September 13, 2023 by Megan Koza Mitchell

*Lincoln* to depart the deCordova in October

This October, DeWitt Godfrey’s *Lincoln*, a large, low-lying horizontal sculpture on the front lawn of the deCordova Sculpture Park, will be de-installed and repurposed for future installations at similar sculpture parks and gardens in the United States.
Installed in 2012, the 80 steel cylinders of *Lincoln,* that cascade downhill, have been a part of deCordova’s front lawn for more than 10 years. Mimicking the gentle curves of deCordova’s landscape, *Lincoln* allows visitors to pass through to see what is on the other side. The sculpture was created on site and at more than 150 feet long is one of the largest ever shown at the de Cordova Sculpture Park and is Godfrey’s most expansive work to date.
