Okay, the sculpture is called “I See What You Mean,” and Lawrence Argent was the sculptor, but it still sad.
Thank you sir, for your various public art. You have brought and will continue to bring joy to many people.
Lawrence Argent, Legendary Denver Sculptor, Has Died
Artist Lawrence Argent got commissions around the globe, but in Denver he will always be remembered for “I See What You Mean,” the Big Blue Bear…
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. He did some lovely work.

Only 60, too. A graduate of RMIT, I see.
When I come to Denver I always look forward to seeing the bear.
@Gloria – Yup. It’s one of the fun things about downtown.
