I have a vague memory of reading an article about a sculptress who believed there should be angel statues in the city of "the queen of city of the angels" -- Los Angeles. It seemed like she'd decided to place some odd thousand statues of angels around the city... gilded, I seem to recall. At the time the article was written, several hundred had been 'hidden' in plain sight around the city, especially at skyline locations. It seemed several more were to be placed each week until what-ever thousand she'd decided on were up.
I know I've looked for them each of my 4 or 5 last visits there, and not seen a thing... :rolleyes: they could be elusive, or my memory's bum, or that the city officals have removed them ... In preparation for my trip there next month, I did a web search to find more info on them, but kept coming up with the Angels' Stadium (nope, that's not it) or a recent special charity fund-raiser with multiple artist's concepts of variations on a specific angel (interesting, but that's not it, either),
Does anyone know what I'm babbling about? Could you provide more info so I could do a specific search? Have any of you seen these statues? I'll be near Gini's home for a long weekend seminar, if I could spot one, I think I could know what to look for to see others.
I regret that my memory's ... well, good enough to bedevil me tantalizingly, but not good enough to help me figure out how to find these elusive statues. Thnak you for your help/suggestions.
