Jenny, I remember when Jane Golden came to DePauw to discuss those mural projects with us. Very cool.

ArtistDan, I hope so too! I especially love the “Column of Four Squares Excentric Gyratory III”. Have you been on the guided tour? I learned that all of the pieces are hollow and weigh considerably less than I would have assumed.

Den, I actually really like Ann Dancing, but it does not go over well with a friend of mine. And I hope to see the Big Sweep for the first time on my next trip to Denver! It sure doesn’t look like it is made of metal.

However, I agree that the hats on Picasso’s monumental are atrocious (and likely illegal).

I’m wishing someone or some business will step up and purchase one (or two) so we can keep it.

Jane Golden turned a small disciplinary program for street taggers and graffiti artists into what is now a very large, city wide effort to beautify the streets.
