David Adickes Sculpturworx

The Beatles are forever rocking in Houston. Drop by the industrial district on the northwest side to see these giant concrete statues towering over the local buildings. But don't come expecting a private concert. The front row seats have been taken...by the American Presidents! These monolithic busts, along with the Beatles, were created by David Adickes, a famous local sculptor. And though the official presidential heads are on display at Presidents Park in Williamsburg, Virginia, "practice heads" have been placed all over Houston. So don't be surprised if you see Abraham Lincoln or George Washington on the side of the highway. Other well-known works by Adickes include the giant statue of General Sam Houston in Huntsville, TX, the Steven F. Austin statue in Angleton, TX, and the bronze statue of George H. W. Bush inside the Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
