Has anyone thought how great a life size bronze statue would be? I was just thinking , what a beautiful tribute to honor P, for the fans to visit and rest flowers, sit and think for awhile. A life size bronze could be placed in the park or somewhere in minniapolis and its forever. I love this idea usually the city pays or a donor, costs are variable but I've heard around 25-30k.
I would love a place to pay homage to him and if that could happen what pose and what era of Prince would be best? Just an idea [Edited 8/24/16 14:31pm] | |

Lifesize is a bad idea in his case -- make it huge. | |

That's what I meant by life size have you ever seen Elvis at the Hilton in Las Vegas it is huge, not literally smarty pants . | |

Oh, IDK..I think life size would be awesome. Then we can all stand beside him and pretend we are "with" him... "Put on your boots Alfred...let's go!" | |

He was larger than life. Make it huge Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

When I told my 9 year old they were turning PP into a museum (he has been saying this since Prince passed) he said they will have a huge sculpture of him there  I have no idea how he is thinking these things!! He was looking forward to the piano mic tour as that is all we talked about prior to Princes passing... | |

It would go against his love of the 10 commandments and the decree to have no graven images or likenesses. Prince would not care for it. Personally I think it would be cool. He switched up his style so often that I can't imagine how what era would be chosen for his statue. | |

Pleeeease no bronze statue. If really a bronze statue than I'd prefer a huge cloud guitar. Or a huge high heeled shoe. Something that was typically Prince but not P himself.... 'Liberate My Mind' | |

I agree. He wouldn't go for that. He was not that kind of person. | |

I think it would be great. As steakfinger pointed out, Prince had many styles. I can envision a series of five or six statues in a row, each depicting a different Prince style. | |

RodeoSchro said: I think it would be great. As steakfinger pointed out, Prince had many styles. I can envision a series of five or six statues in a row, each depicting a different Prince style. Yeah that would be awesome. But I agree. If he wouldn't like it done, then it shouldn't be done. Didn't think of the 10 commandments thing. "Put on your boots Alfred...let's go!" | |

Why not the symbol in bronze? | |

I have yet to see a bronze statue that actually looks like the person. Maybe the previous posters suggestion of the Cloud Guitar would be better. But Prince would not like one of himself as the scriptures prohibit the use of idols and he could see it that way too. JMHO Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

They have one of Mary Tyler Moore in downtown Minneapolis. Why not Prince? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Sorry, no statue could carry the essence of Prince Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes? - Prince 1985 | |

The symbol would be nice, since choosing a era wouldn't cover it. | |

Now I can understand a statue of the symbol but I've never seen a bronze that represents a person very well. They always look messed up in some way Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes? - Prince 1985 | |

and when your talking about Prince, it would be hard to capture all that he was and do him justice in that form.I like the statue idea. Honestly I'd take anything, the symbol, whatever, just as long as there is some kind of representation to remind the world that a Prince walked amongst us. | |

This reminds me of the creepy giant Michael Jackson statue that 'swam' along the thames. The closest comparison to it was godzilla. The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |
