The long-awaited life-sized bronze statue of Virginia Woolf officially arrived in Richmond today, the place where Virginia and her husband Leonard lived from 1914-1924 and where they established their famous Hogarth Press in 1917.
Woolf’s great niece Emma Woolf and Emma’s 2-year-old son Ludovic Cecil Woolf, along with Sophie Partridge, great, great niece of Virginia Woolf, were set to unveil the statue.
Designed by acclaimed artist Laury Dizengremel, the sculpture is located on the upper terraces of Richmond Riverside.
First she got a podcast, then a blue plaque on Talland House, and now she has a life-sized statue! What a time to be a Woolfian.
Thanks to everyone @AuroraMetro for a great day. pic.twitter.com/QSDlrPXWuS
