Good riddance! They were ugly eye sores! More lights, not junk!

Sad to see the park end. I thought after the 'Ordinary' piece was removed, that the site was diminished in importance. Having a 'Stabile' sculpture in Philadelphia was actually more important than it was having the entire Calder museum project. Losing Calder's moving sculpture was the greatist loss to the Parkway's art ambitions, metaphorically and otherwise. The remainder of the sculptures, and

Calder's legacy is so overated anyway.

It looked nice. I grew up in Fairmount. I went to St Francis Xavier grade school. We walked out the parway everyday to go to high school, at Hallahan. There was nothing there then.

HEY HUGHE -<BR/><BR/>The one sculpture, “Three Discs, One Lacking” which was owned by the city was moved to the park at Capriccio @ Café Cret and placed today. We are very excited to have that as an addition to the café park, along with the Henry Moore “Three-Way Piece Number 1: Points, and the stone statue of the “Prophet”.<BR/><BR/>David

If that were true where is the press release which would have come out by now celebrating the public space's future? Also why would they cut electricity to the park if there is future use in the works?

Here&#39;s what happened - I got this information from Councilman Green&#39;s office who spoke to the Public Art Director in the Philadelphia Public Property Department ... the Calder statues were part of a temporary exhibit funded by Pew Charitable Trust and the Art Museum. The site will now be used for temporary public exhibits. The Calder statue(s) that are owned by the City will be moved to

What a scoop, no one has this story but you and Philberty. Why was there no notice?

Thankfully the Iroquois was bought by an anonymous doner and donated to the City. Hopefully there's a caveat that says the City can never sell it.

WOW - we are probably returning to the times where it gets a bit frightening to cross through this deserted, grassious field at night. Otherwise, this is an unfortunate loss to the Parkway. Great collage, as always, HughE; and great to see you last night!!
