Newport This Week

For What It’s Worth





 

 

What you are viewing is not a crop circle but a work of art (by Richard Fleishner), a photo in a catalogue of outdoor sculpture in Newport August 1974 titled “Monumenta.” The catalogue was brought in by a Newporter who viewed the exhibit in person. Artists featured included David Smith, George Rickey, Alexander Calder, William De Kooning, John Chamberlain, Karel Appel, and Cristo, to name a few. The terrific catalogue valued at about $100 today.
