AP -- Foundation selects MU professor to create statue of Gerald Ford for U.S. Capitol rotunda
A University of Missouri instructor came out on top in a nationwide search to find an artist to produce a sculpture of former President Gerald Ford for the U.S. Capitol rotunda.
The Gerald R. Ford Foundation has commissioned Brett Grill, assistant professor of art at MU, to create the statue.
His work will stand in the rotunda along with figures of Washington, Jefferson, Eisenhower and Reagan.
The 29-year-old Grill said he is flattered by the honor.
