It is with a sad heart that Hammond Harkins Galleries announces the passing of Joan Wobst. Joan has been a fixture of the Columbus arts community and Hammond Harkins family for years. Her sculptures, which she sculpted in terracotta or cast bronze, are in numerous private and public collections, including the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus School for Girls, and Columbusβ Schiller Park, where one of her best-known sculptures, The Umbrella Girl Fountain, is located. Joan divided her time between Bexley and Jupiter Island, Florida, where she passed February 26, 2023. According to The Columbus Dispatch, Joanβs family encourages friends to make memorial donations, in lieu of flowers, to the Columbus School for Girls, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Hobe Sound Community Chest or their local hospice care organization.
