The City of Charlottesville is soliciting offers from entities interested in acquiring ownership of a bronze figurative sculpture depicting the 19th century explorers Lewis & Clark, and their Native American partner, Sacajawea. The sculpture, entitled “Their First View of the Pacific,” was created by the famed American sculptor Charles Keck. The sculpture is designed to sit atop a tall carved rectangular pedestal of pink granite, also of Keck’s design.
