Susan, thanks for sharing the information about the article regarding the
artwork that was destroyed in the WTC. Does anyone know how to get a list
of the pieces or how to obtain a copy of the images of some of the more
famous works that were there (i.e. a website that does an image search)?
I've looked for Calder's "Bent Propeller", but can't find an image of it
anywhere. Thanks.

Judie

Thanks for sharing that interesting piece of news, Jan. For anyone who
missed the original post, the tapestry we are talking about is the huge and
magnificent Miro that hung in the lobby of the WTC.
