Neat sculpture at the Nelson-Atkins Museaum of Art in Kansas City, Mo.

I forgot who did it. Anyone have a guess?

Well, the face looks like Marcel Duchamp and in doing a quick search that knight is either one of his sculptures or a homage to one (link)

Another flickr picture with more details; it's called "Cast Alive" from 1967.
