	After his death in 1892, the famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by an independent citizens' group to do a sculpture of Sherman. The sculptor started work on the statue in 1897, working initially from a bust of the general which he had executed in 1888. Saint-Gaudens went through several versions of the statue before he was satisfied with its "forward sweep". The statue's preliminary model was exhibited in 1900 at the Paris Exposition, where it won a Grand Prix.
