Placid

I'm on the hunt again to determine the condition or fate of PLACID. I was conducting research this afternoon and came across another reference to it in Newman Park on the north shore of Mill Pond in Lake Placid. I have also seen references to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Google maps shows no such park and another satellite hunt provided no clues. I have a message in to the Parks Dept in Lake Placid. I sent some samples for reference so I hope they can tell me if it still exists.

Discovery

I have had a few comments about the missing entry of the piece in Fairbanks, AK. After a few quick emails today, the mystery is almost solved. "Chartreuse Jim" is standing outside the Fine Arts building on the Univ of Alaska campus and I was able to confirm its location but am waiting for metadata as well as a better image.
Here's the Google StreetMap view
Think HIGHLINE, SALUTE TO KNOWLEDGE and ZEPHYR
Made my day!

Adjustment

Added colorized versions of TAN, BULLFINCH, BADGE as this might make more sense to specify the importance of color in the work.
Received another image of SALUTE and added a gallery for it.

Site is live

The new look n feel was finally released this week and have had a few inquiries already. We posted the link to a few sculpture forums to alert artisans that KIPP is back!
We have solved the mystery of KIPP's whereabouts and several of my contacts have been in touch so we hope to get him involved in gathering much more data very soon.
Thanks again for all the input and once again, if you have any details or anecdotes about KIPP or one of his pieces, we welcome your data.
