Sight to Be Seen at the Corcoran Gallery Work in Marble
The Washington Corcoran Gallery is under construction with thirty thousand cubic feet of marble from Georgia. Blocks weigh up to fifteen tons and are cut by water and sand with novel machines including planing gear and a massive knife. Newer devices produce dentals and borders, using dentist-like drills for finishing.
