Divine is home, for good.

Andrew Logan, the British sculptor whose 10-foot statue of Divine has been a fixture at the American Visionary Art Museum since 1998, has given the piece to AVAM, ensuring that it will remain in the city its subject called home.

“I realized that Divine belonged in Baltimore and not to me,” Logan wrote in an email from London, taking the opportunity to praise AVAM founder and director Rebecca Hoffberger. “Rebecca’s love and guidance at AVAM assured me of the statue’s future.”

Hoffberger said, “I was just blown away by it. He just humbly said, ‘I think Divvy should be here.’?”

The piece, capturing the Baltimore County native born Harris Glenn Milstead in full drag-queen regalia, weighs between 450 and 500 pounds and stands in AVAM’s Jim Rouse Visionary Center.
