The bust of Kennedy
The bust of Kennedy is a monument of the sculptor montréalais of Hungarian origin Paul Lancz in the honor of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The bust was initially exposed to the Kennedy Library of the Université Harvard of Boston, with the approval of Jacqueline Kennedy. After 20 years of efforts on behalf of his creator, one agreed to place it in 1986 on the avenue of the President-Kennedy, with the corner of the street Jeanne-Mance, opposite the President-Kennedy House.
The bust was entirely financed by the company of jewels Henry Birks & Fils (now become the Birks & Mayors). A plate reads there: " In homage to the citizens of Montreal, HENRY BIRKS & WIRE, 1986". Bronze was carried out at Artcast, with Georgetown, in Ontario
