New York artist seeks injunction to stop Des Moines art demolition
Mary Miss files federal suit in the Southern District of Iowa seeking a temporary injunction to halt the planned demolition of her 1994 Greenwood Park installation in Des Moines. The suit cites the Visual Arts Rights Act to protect the project, seeks up to 150000 dollars in damages, and notes the center plans fencing the pond and trail before draining the pond and removing structures over three months. The court set a hearing for 10 a.m. today.
