Although the sculpture was not well-received at first, it currently faces many visits from tourists and University of Georgia students.[2][4][3] HistoryOn May 25, 1954, Abbott Pattison initially placed the sculpture at Reed Hall in the University of Georgia. However, after the sculpture was vandalized by disgruntled students, the sculpture was secretly moved to a warehouse. It remained there before horticulture professor L.C. Curtis moved it to his farm near Watkinsville, Georgia in 1959 where it stands today.[2][4][5][6] In an interview with The New York Times in 1979, Curtis claimed that he wanted the sculpture from Lamar Dodd, the chairman of the art department at the time, because "I collect conversation pieces. I'm a little bit of an eccentric."[7] Although the sculpture was possessed by Curtis' descendant, Jack Curtis, before his death,[6] the sculpture is still owned by the university.[8] In 2011, the sculpture was vandalized once again. Afterwards, a secret group restored the horse.[9] {{As of|2017}}, the farm where the sculpture is kept is managed by Josh Griffin.[10] ResearchIn 2014, the University of Georgia renamed the farm "Iron Horse Plant Sciences Farm" in honor of the sculpture. The university uses the farm for agricultural research.[11] In February 2017, a study created in the farm was released, which consisted of the use of drones to analyze the genetic data found in crop yields.[12] In popular cultureThe early history of the sculpture was depicted in the 1962 National Educational Television film, Pegasus Without Wings[13][14] as well as the 1980 William VanDerKloot documentary, Iron Horse.[4][15][16] See also
