Per the artist's website link
This sculpture had its debut at the Sculpture Celebration in Lenoir September, 2004, and moved to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens for their Fall show where it took First Prize. It's, as my English Major wife says, "A symphony with several movements." This muse then moved to Boone, North Carolina for the year-long 19th Rosen Sculpture installation on the Appalachian State Campus. It was the winner there of the Rosen Award for 2005. Now after a year's exhibition in Kingsport, Tennessee Yo-Yo's Muse has found a permanent home.

Per the Kingsport public arts website link
[Yo-Yo's Muse was] purchased for the City of Kingsport by Jennifer and Larry Egan, Anonymous, Harry and Pat Turner, Judy Fischer and the Kingsport Public Art Fund.
