Don Ervin
We were saddened to hear that Don Ervin died on March 10th resulting from a car accident. We were introduced to Don and his wife Wilma's world through a good friend Gretchen, their daughter. Even before we opened spring, we knew that we wanted to show his amazing cars made from household parts and we were happy to be able to present them in FASTFORWARD in 2005. These pieces reflect Don's character in their inventiveness, skill and sense of humor.

THE LAST WORD
ILLEGAL ART's the last word, that spent a number of weeks installed at spring collecting those inspired mots justes has moved out. You can read some of them in the New York Times article on the piece.
