Another Echelman sculpture was taken down to prevent last winter's damage in Greensboro, NC. But suspension gear needed much R&R, delaying its return for months at a cost of ¿$$$?...who knows... C.f.: https://www.greensboro.com/blogs/gotriad_extra/echelman-sculpture-soon-will-billow-again-above-greensboro-s-lebauer/article_494916e5-e743-570d-82d3-d5130670adf9.html ...and this week, incoming Florence threatened it again, requiring it to be lowered to safety... Hopefully the city is prepared for the ongoing costs of ownership of a similar piece slated for Pier Park.

On Thursday, Janet Echelman’s massive aerial net sculpture in LeBauer Park was lowered. The iconic sculpture will be returned over the Great Lawn early next week." Hidden $TBD$ costs...coming to a water bill near you? Surely private art donors will gladly pay to maintain and protect Kriseman's $3-million piece of work? Wanna bet?
