Its is claimed here that Harrison was born in Indiana.
Yet the article about Harrison claims he was born in Ohio and moved to Indiana when he was young. So where was he actually born ?

I don't see where this article says that Harrison was born in Indiana. It states only that the sculptor was born there.

– Recent discussions show a general preference for "Statue of XXX" over 'subject (medium)' format. Applying similar structure to this group of busts. --

Support per nom – this kind of title convention with "natural" disambiguation makes a lot more sense that a title that looks like it is about a person who was a bust.

Looks like it is about a person who was a bust? (I'll repeat, ?) Like the kids say nowadays, what does that even mean? My attitude while writing this is smiling and enjoying bantering with you again.

Comment, please read
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Visual arts#Works of art. Arguably, the entire section seems to support using the concise and real names that these articles already have. That's my take on it from a quick read without looking closely for a counter-viewpoint, so that's why I ask others to read it and consider it in your comments here. Thanks.

Support. Actually I don't feel strongly about these. When I wrote the VAMOS section I admit I was mostly thinking about paintings and "objects", rather than portrait sculpture. I think
Otis Bowen (bust) is better than
Otis Bowen (Little-known Sculptor), which is the pattern most American statues seem to follow (perhaps after reading VAMOS, I'll admit). In an ideal world it would say not just that it is a bust, but where it is, but the disam police will probably only allow this when there are tons of works with articles (as with Washington, Gandhi & Q. Victoria). People seem mostly happy with this, & I'm happy to go along. We need to amend VAMOS in some way, and the discussion on doing this is linked below.
