A Few Pics From the Broken Angel Party
We stopped by the party friends and neighbors threw to celebrate artist Arthur Wood, above, Friday afternoon. He was busy giving interviews, so we didn’t speak. There was a lot of food and a steady stream of people coming to say goodbye. We wish the Broken Angel could have been preserved as an art work…
We stopped by the party friends and neighbors threw to celebrate artist Arthur Wood, above, Friday afternoon. He was busy giving interviews, so we didn’t speak.

We wish the Broken Angel could have been preserved as an art work rather than dismantled to conform to building codes, a la Watts Towers, as a commenter here suggested.
Old news, new students.
Just wanted to post what it looked like back with it’s mirrors and etc. I feel this was just as valid as folk art (or outsider art or whatever you want to call it) as the Watts Towers, which many people did not appreciate but are spectacular and a big tourist attraction now. Too bad the “condo” solution was so badly mismanaged. I still can’t figure out what really happened there. http://blog.thaumatography.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/brokangeast.jpg
i just don’t see how this can be considered art?
cate, the watts towers are sculptures and do not violate building code. this is completely different.
