Denver Art Museum Bringing Back Visitor-Favorite 'Linda'

DENVER (CBS) - A visitor favorite exhibit is returning to the Denver Art Museum after a long hiatus.

"Linda," a sculpture created by Colorado artist John DeAndrea, first appeared at the museum in 1984. It was last on display in 2009 and has been kept in climate-controlled storage to ensure her preservation.

According to Gwen Chanzit, curator of modern art at the DAM, DeAndrea is "a master of illusion."

"(He's) internationally celebrated for his hyperrealist nude or partially dressed human figure sculptures that are typically posed in true-to-life positions, pushing the boundaries of realism to the extreme."

Two other DeAndrea sculptures will also be on display -- "Artist and Model," and "Nude with Black Drape."
