It opened in September of ’08 and was supposed to close on 3/8/09, but it has been extended until the 22 of March. I so wish it to be seen because it included Cole’s “Shine” – a most amazing scupture created from women’s black pumps? And one of his Iron pieces are also there and one of his bicycle sculptures. What a genius.

I also believe I saw some of his work some years ago at the Newark Museum which, by the way, is a very unsung and wonderful art museum that has been part of Newark NJ’s cultural history for many, many years.

In these hard, hard times, it is amazing how artists help us to calm down and remain civilized.
