The statue is by George Gray Barnard and was the subject of a bitter controversy between Robert T Lincoln, the artist, and decisions over where to put the statue. It ended by in Manchester, UK after being rejected on RTL's pleadings from being erected near the Houses of Parliament in London--where a copy of the Lincoln Park St. Gaudens Lincoln now stands. Robert wrote of it: "...a onstrous figure which is grotesque as a likeness of President Lincoln and defamatory as an effigy." See Ch 23 of Jason Emerson's bio of DTL for details.
