...the iconic minimalist scuplture installed by artist Frosty Myers at 599 Broadway on the corner of Houston and Broadway back in the early 1970's, but removed for structural reasons in 2002—will rise again on the same wall. Per The Villager, 30 additional feet of wall space will be added so the beams that form the structure can rise higher, allowing for the installation of (you see this coming, right?) street-level billboards. 'The Wall' will also be lit at night for the first time

I'm as surprised to hear that's coming back as I would be if George B. announced the troops were coming home next week. (And I know the artist's "love name" is Frosty but it's a bit casual in lieu of Forrest for a news item about a famous third tier minimalist. )
