Overview
- MOCA announced the acquisition on February 24 as part of a broader reveal of 158 works by 106 artists added to its collection last year.
- Walker created the 13-foot bronze in 2023 by slicing apart and reassembling the 1921 Stonewall Jackson monument, removing the general’s face and emphasizing his horse Little Sorrel.
- The Charlottesville statue, once a focal point of the 2017 Unite the Right rally, was deeded to The Brick through a city request-for-proposals; the nonprofit took possession on January 6, 2022, and then provided it to Walker.
- Unmanned Drone remains on view at The Brick in the joint Monuments presentation through May 3, with related works also on display at MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary.
- Within Monuments, it is the only decommissioned Confederate statue that was artistically transformed rather than shown in its removed state.
