PLACID, ONE-O-NINE and LOCKPORT

One of KIPP's former students and assistants, Jesse Nolan, sent along several installation images of PLACID, ONE-O-NINE and LOCKPORT. It was spectacular to see these colorful images of PLACID and ONE-O-NINE.
Here's hoping that the Lake Placid Center for the Arts is able to finally erect PLACID again in all its primary colored glory.

TONAWANDA

Visiting Naples, FL for KIPP's memorial and had breakfast with KIPP's son Keeth. They welcomed me to a family gathering last night for great food and interesting stories aboout KIPP's life.
This morning I visited TONAWANDA and took a lot of photos.
The Smithsonian archive has also recently added pictures of several KIPP pieces as part of their Outdoor Sculpture archive. I am pleased to report that most of the pieces are in much better shape than the images indicate including TONAWANDA.
