"old ghost towns like they were back when". Not some man -made creation like Goldwell.
Mr. Szukalski did a lot of work on his project.
Goldwell is a man made tourist attraction, that was stared in 1984 by a sculptor from Belgium, Albert Szukalski' who died in 2000. The site is supported by Nevada Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts and Nevada Commission on Tourism.
This was constructed like the Last Supper scene of plaster-infused burlap over a live figure, the model was man from Beatty.
A Dr. Hugo has created this sculpture in 1992.
This figure is of Shorty Harris who was a lonesome miner from Rhyolite.
This "Sofie Siegmann" was originally in Las Vegas. It was rescued in 2007 and restored at Goldwell.
Hope you all enjoyed this posting as much as I had when DesertDale took me back to Gooldwell to get the right info.
My opinion on Goldwater is: non of it is natural, it all man made. It should not have been introduce in the area where such a fine "Ghost Town like Rhyolite " is located.
Hope you have enjoy this posting. Kitfoxgal
