I was hoping that Chase was getting ready to clean their Jean Dubuffet sculpture, Group of Four Trees. I watched them do that in 2002, and it's a laborious, piece-by-piece process. The dismantling was almost a shocking thing to see. If I remember correctly it took a couple months. I unfortunately didn't have a camera then, so I was more than a little excited when I saw the scaffolding go up again.
Fake to the left though. I asked one of the maintenance people and it turns out that they're just protecting it from the construction they're doing on the building. Maybe they'll clean it after that. I can dream, can't I?

so cool. thanks for posting this!
If you're ever in Houston there's a great Dubuffet in downtown. Climbing around on and playing hide & seek in it is one of my fondest childhood memories. Apparently they've moved it, but it's still in downtown H-town.
God I love Jean Dubuffet. Thanks for posting.
