Untitled by Jack Pierson

Have you seen this sign around town at a garage sale or swap meet? On display in Wonder Valley last time around, this precious and glittery object seems to have vanished from the landscape. There are rumors, of course. Tales of dueling thieves with art collections. There may have been a plan afoot to make away with it which was pre-empted by a more successful plan. Or some such. We’d like to think it was simply swallowed up by the desert. Engulfed by sand drifts. After all, disappearance is nothing new in these parts. In any case, we’re being super secretive about Jack’s new piece. We don’t want to tip off any international art hoisters. Let’s just say, ‘you’ll know it when you see it’ and leave it at that.
