Rust is formed by the oxidation of iron. The Statue of Liberty is made primarily out of copper, so it cannot "rust." It is, however, obviously showing the signs of patination (the term used for the oxidation of other metals). Copper is naturally a shiny pinkish-brown color, but when it oxidizes, it begins to turn a bluish-green.
