"Slicker Shy" by Herb Mignery Finds a New Home
at the Lewisville, TX, City Hall
August 24, 2010

The 18' high monumental sculpture "Slicker Shy" by Sculptor Herb Mignery was recently displayed at the City Hall in Lewisville, TX.

The sculpture previously resided in the main lobby of the Sheraton Dallas Hotel (formerly the Adam's Mark Hotel). After a $90 million renovation, however, the hotel owners decided to remove the sculpture and find it a new home. Thus, the sculpture was placed on loan from the Sheraton Dallas to the City of Lewisville by consignment through Sculptureworks.

The "Slicker Shy" installation would not have been possible without the following installation contributors: the Lewisville Old Town Business Association, JC Commercial, and North Texas Crane.

The City of Lewisville also held a dedication ceremony to recognize the installation contributors and the Sheraton Dallas Hotel for their generosity and hard work in bringing "Slicker Shy" to Lewisville. Click here to view full news story with photographs of the dedication.

Please enjoy some YouTube videos of the removal and installation of "Slicker Shy" below, along with a few photos and additional information.
