Sculpturing, Unknown Event, Open1

Date29 July – 14 August 1948
StatusOlympic
LocationVictoria & Albert Museum, London
Participants15 from 8 countries

For about half of the sculpturing competitors, it is unknown in which of the three events they entered. A notable entrant was a sculpture by Tait McKenzie, a Canadian artist who had also sent in an entry at the very first Olympic art competition back in 1912. Since he already died in 1938, however, it should have been accepted as a hors concours entry at best.
