              CELEBRATING THE WORK OF SCULPTOR GREGG WYATT

                                 ______


                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 17, 1994

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, last year, a constituent of mine, Greg 
Wyatt, sculptor-in-residence at the Cathedral Church of St. John the 
Divine, New York City, was honored to exhibit his bronze sculptures in 
the Senate Russell Building rotunda. Three dimensional works by studio 
apprentices under Mr. Wyatt's tutelage were also displayed at that 
time. Mr. Wyatt previously exhibited his works in the Cannon House 
Office Building where I maintain my Washington office.
  CBS-TV has informed Greg Wyatt that on Sunday, August 21, 1994, on 
``Sunday Morning,'' WCBS-TV will rebroadcast the interview by Charles 
Kuralt, filmed in the cathedral crypt studio in Manhattan. The program 
will show Mr. Wyatt's famous work at New York's Cathedral of St. John 
the Divine, the 40-foot-high ``Peace Fountain,'' and feature his 
apprenticeship for art students. I am proud to have this accomplished 
artist living and working in my district.
  At this time, Mr. Wyatt's bronze sculpture entitled ``Eternal 
Spring'' is featured at the Kennedy Galleries in New York City. 
Additionally, he informs me that a retrospective exhibit of his bronze 
sculptures was selected by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation trustees to 
join the permanent Jasper Cropsey painting collection at the 
foundation's new Gallery of Art at Hastings-On-Hudson. As you may know, 
Jasper Cropsey was the American master of the 19th century Hudson River 
school of painting.
  As the representative of New York's vital arts community, it is my 
privilege to commend the outstanding work of an inspirational artist. I 
believe that every Member of this House will recognize, after viewing 
Mr. Wyatt's work, that the arts matter, and merit continued support by 
Congress.
