On loan to Park Central Development, 12750 Merit Street, Dallas, Texas 75251

Remarks:
These two pieces were originally to be part of a larger exhibit entitled "The Show That Industry Built." These were made possible by a financial partnership between the artist and Allen Huffhines, owner of Huffhines Steel and namesake of "Allen's Piece." They were produced on speculation, pending their sale. As of 1993, Huffhines Steel retained possession of them. IAS files contain a related article from the Dallas Observer, June 19, 1986.
