BIRD GIRL
Top 7 in Top 17 Best Sculptures of All Time
Sylvia Shaw Judson sculpted the Savannah Bird Girl statue, which is made in bronze. It is 50 inches tall and portrays a little girl with her head cocked to one side and two bowls in her hands. It was initially commissioned as a garden sculpture for a family in Massachusetts, but the most renowned one now sits on a burial site in Savannah, Georgia.
Only four were constructed from the initial cast, but Judson's daughter had a fifth made from a mold of the original in 1995. The sculpture rose to prominence after appearing on the cover of John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and subsequently in the film version.
