A settlement has been reached in a dispute over the removal of land artist Mary Miss Greenwood Pond: Double Site at the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa. The Art Center will pay the artist $900,000 for a breach of contract for its planned demolition of the 29-year-old outdoor sculpture last spring despite a court injunction.At her victory, Miss stated: I hope the resurrection and reconsideration of this project will lead to further reflections on the relationships between artists, environmental issues, communities and our public cultural institutions. I trust this experience can help to develop stronger bonds moving forward.
