jlawrence+FollowDetroit’s lost sculpture finds new life downtownA piece of Detroit’s history, once thought lost forever, is now on display at the Hudson’s Detroit building. Harry Bertoia’s massive 26-foot sculpture, originally hidden away and nearly forgotten after a mall demolition, has been restored and installed at General Motors’ new headquarters. The installation was no small feat—crews had to cut a huge opening in the building just to bring it in! It’s a striking reminder of how art can resurface and become part of our city’s story again. What other hidden gems do you think Detroit still has tucked away? #Entertainment #Painting #DetroitArt00Share
