“We are dismayed to be unable to return them, by their irretrievable loss,”
said the president of the Georges Pompidou Center, one Bruno Racine following the news that a 1971 wall sculpture by Peter Alexander was destroyed when it fell from a museum wall shortly before the show, Los Angeles: 1955-1985, opened on March 8, and a 1967 wall relief by Craig Kauffman tumbled to the floor during public visiting hours on July 15.
Since the accidents were first reported in The Los Angeles Times last month, the museum has pouted that it does take proper care of the artworks it borrows. Mr. Racine said that the Pompidou had invited the artists to remake the works at the center’s expense, but that they had not yet responded.
Hmmm..maybe I should have offered to re-type those library books...
