And we thought the museum's taking it sign down was sad.
The Chapel Hill Public Arts Office is offering a $250 reward, no questions asked, for the return of a bright orange sculpture of a floating girl that has disappeared from in front of the Chapel Hill Museum on East Franklin Street.
The missing sculpture, entitled “Landing,” is an orange and yellow urethane form mounted on a steel pole, six feet tall by five feet wide and two inches thick. It depicts a girl in a dress and striped stockings jumping or floating.
It was reported missing to the Chapel Hill Police Department on Wednesday. The sculpture is temporarily on-loan from from the artist, Cecilia Lueza, and was being exhibited as part of the 2009-10 Sculpture Visions outdoor exhibit, which places art in public places around Chapel Hill.
Contact the Public Arts Office with any information regarding the piece at 919-968.2750 or info@chapelhillarts.org info@chapelhillarts.org.
