Joshua,

The Madison Art Center acted as caretaker to the Segal sculpture "Gay
Liberation" from 1987 to 1990 while the decision to place the piece in New
York City was being discussed. The piece was placed in a Madison park during
that period and we received conservation help from the foundry that cast the
piece.
I suggest you write to them directly:

Johnson Atelier Technical Institute
