last-picture-show: John Kasnetzis, Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning with the Capricorne Sculpture, Sedona, Arizona, 1948 “Capricorn is the culmination of Max Ernst’s sculptural work of the 1930s and 1940s, and the great monumental sculpture from his years in Sedona, Arizona. An original cement and scrap-iron version from 1947 served as a guardian outside a tiny concrete house that Ernst and his wife, artist Dorothea Tanning, built in Sedona in 1946. It was not until 1964 that the work was cast in bronze in an edition of six, and then it was cast again in 1975, when the Gallery’s sculpture was made in an edition of two.” (x) -- source link
