Elisabeth Frink’s bronze sculptures Assassins I and Assassins II (1963) have long been associated with the shooting of John F. Kennedy, as they were first exhibited at the Wadsworth Gallery on November 28th 1963, just six days after the assassination. It is very unlikely however that Frink made these pieces in response to the shooting due to the timescale.
