Gagosian and Prada to the rescue

According to The New York Times(“Inside Art: Campaign Aims to Restore Weather-Abused ‘Lightning Field'”, June 8, 2012), after thirty-five years of exposure to rough weather in the New Mexican desert, Walter De Maria’s “The Lightning Field” is in need of extensive and expensive conservation work. Fortunately, Larry Gagosian and Miuccia Prada have taken on the job of raising the necessary funds and work will begin in early 2013.
