I love this sculpture. Does anyone know who the artist is, its name and anything else about this piece? (I can't find anything on the web to share with you).

A comment left on this blog last wee
A week ago Friday I spent the morning traipsing about the Morris Arboretum.
If anyone wants to know, it's next to Metsätalo, in Kaisaniemi.
Artist is Emil Cedercreutz, whose favorite subject were horses.
See http://www.taidemuseo.hel.fi/english/veisto/veistossivu.html?id=6&sortb… for the Helsinki art museum site.

I also find it intriguing how there's a bronze of a bull moose down the park promenade some half a mile away; having a cow and calf moose here and the bull moose there would have been a beautiful example of art imitating nature even more.
