The noble rust, as Italians call it, which gives copper and bronze so beautiful a surface color, has covered the Statue of Liberty with a malachite green that does not disintegrate the metal as rust devours iron. Galvanic action was avoided by insulation between all iron and copper parts.rom these, large wooden molds were made of the statue's surface. Using the repousse method, copper sheets were hammered within these molds to reproduce the statue's contours on the the plates. In all, 350 plates make up the statue's surface. Two inch-wide straps of iron were forged to fit inside each plate.
The Thinker statue that sits in front of Grawemeyer Hall is the first large-scale bronze cast of The Thinker. French sculptor Auguste Rodin personally supervised the casting in Paris.It came out of the mold Dec. 25, 1903, and was completed in early 1904.he origins of The Thinker date to 1880.
