Judge sides with Costner in sculpture dispute

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - July 1, 2011

The dispute centered around whether there was agreement between /*Costner*/ and artist /*Peggy Detmers*/ on the site where the artwork now sits. The Rapid City Journal reports that Judge Randall Macy ruled there was.

Under terms of the contract, if the two hadn't agreed on a site, Costner was to sell the sculpture and split the proceeds. Costner said there was agreement; Detmers said she had little say on the site. The resort has not materialized after 20 years.

Costner's attorney says the actor is "well satisfied." Detmers declined immediate comment.
