Arts panel OKs Gehry design for Eisenhower Memorial
The U S Commission of Fine Arts approved the general concept and major layout for Frank Gehry's Eisenhower Memorial in Washington by a 3-1 vote. The panel urged dropping two side tapestries to create a stronger park backdrop, while Gehry considers ten tapestry scenarios to relate the sculpture to surrounding federal buildings and Ike's legacy. The $142 million project, stalled after family objections, continues toward final approval for construction.
