----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Diane, I have not found any bio on Malcolm Alexander but have located references to other work by the artist, if that is of any interest. The SIRIS Inventory of American Art (http://www.siris.si.edu/ to replicate my search) notes two works: a portrait sculpture of Jimmy Stewart at the Indiana County, Pa. courthouse from 1983 and "We Didn't Know It Couldn't Be Done" for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Curiously, the location for that work is given as Valdez, not Fairbanks! Specifically, it's listed at the 6 mile mark, Dayview Road, Valdez. Bibliography cited is Stan Cohen's "The Great Alaska Pipeline" (1988). Elsewhere, there are references to reproductions of "Ol' Man River" in the Summer 1978 National Sculpture Review and "Sod Busting" in the Summer 1979 National Sculpture Review. To add to the negatives on sources checked for bio, this artist is not listed in: RILA, ARTbibliographies Modern, Contemporary Artists, the Index to Artistic Biography, nor my major paper biographical dictionaries.
