Has anyone actually seen this statue of Baphomet in Detroit? Where is it located? Who
sculpted it? Does it really exist in Detroit?

It was never intended to be permanently installed in Detroit. They "unveiled" it in Detroit, but it's currently in storage until they find a permanent location.

Why a Satanic statue isn't really about the devil

On Saturday night, the group unveiled a 9-foot statue of Baphomet — the idol the Knights Templar were accused of secretly worshiping, before the order was disbanded in 1312 — at a warehouse in Detroit. The bronze statue is destined for Arkansas, if officials there make good on plans to display the Ten Commandments on public land outside a government building.

The sculptor's name slipped my mind but it's no secret.
