This morning in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette I read about a large-scale sculpture that is being removed to make way for advertising.
"The airport authority notified artist Peter Calaboyias in a Feb. 3 letter that his sculpture, 78 feet long and 8 feet high, was being removed to clear the way for advertising. It had begun taking down the work yesterday."
Ouch! As if art isn't underappreciated enough already. This had to have hurt. Upon closer investigation, this artist turns out to be a professor at Grove City College. Perhaps I ought to send him a condolences letter.
Art vs. Advertising. Let's see who wins.

Calaboyias is the Grove City artist Sarah Coffin told me to tell you to get K. Rhoades to introduce you to. I think I passed that on to you back in the fall. Maybe that bit of info didn't stick though — you were in the midst of chaos at the time, as I gather. : )
