Art Preserved

 

These sand cast panels were once on the side of the Saks Fifth Avenue building at the Biltmore Fashion Park shopping center.  That building was torn down many years ago but these panels were preserved.  They were placed on a special wall at the same center.  They are just not located in a spot with a lot of foot traffic.  I saw them last week when I was there and decided to get a photo.  The panels were originally created by an artist named John Smith in 1963.  I'm happy they were saved but, I do wish they were in a better spot for viewing.

Those would do well in a gallery window, in place of the brass knuckles.
