If it’s not cranes, falcons, or wind swept construction materials falling from the sky, it’s 15th Century religious art:
“The Metropolitan Museum of Art is saddened to report that late last night or early this morning, a late 15th-century glazed terracotta relief sculpture of “Saint Michael the Archangel” by Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525), came loose from metal mounts.”
The museum claims the piece has not been “irrevocably harmed,” and will be repaired, although, as CultureGrrl notes, they made the same claim about the Tullio Lombardo sculpture of Adam that fell in 2002, an it “hasn’t been publicly spotted since.” |ArtsJournal|
