Title: Yellow Brick Roadie Location: Starlight Theatre/Swope Park/KC Zoo Artist: Marcella G. Smith Sponsor: Starlight Theatre "Yellow Brick Roadie." is a combination of sculpture, with the addition of glasses and the Kansas City Skyline to this large 3-D cow, multi-layers of glazing and acrylic paint, and close to 150 sheets of '23 karat Gold Leaf' dramatizing the yellow brick road leading to Kansas City. Miss Roadie sings one of several tunes as she strolls, 'going to Kansas City', 'follow the Yellow Brick Road', and other phrases of songs, have been heard coming from her at walks along in her purple boots. According to Ms. Smith, artist, “The 'Wizard of Oz' is a classic that myself and others, have loved since a child. Since Dorothy originated in Kansas, the concept of going to Kansas City down the yellow brick road just seems to flow together.”				This cow was sold in the live auction conducted by Sotheby's on October 5, 2001 at Starlight Theatre.
