He had not taken pictures of the installation in the Trump Tower and wanted to know if he could use mine to update <a title=\"Carl Myers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carljmyers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">his website.<\/a> Sure! I felt like they were his anyway. I had just had the pictures but didn&#8217;t create the art and the picture wouldn&#8217;t exist without his spectacular artwork.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>&#8220;I am the artist who made the &#8216;penny art&#8217; in Panama that you showcased on your blog, and I have been searching for images of the installed pieces.

Carl was kind in the email exchange to give me a little insight into his work. I hope he doesn&#8217;t mind me posting here, for it&#8217;s quite a feat to think of how many pennies were needed and then used. <a title=\"Carl Myers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carljmyers.com\/art\/objects\/mosaics\" target=\"_blank\">Each has a hole drilled into the top<\/a> and is fixed with a protruding nail.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>&#8220;I laughed when I thought of saving all of those pennies..Truth is&#8230;obtaining new pennies in large quantities was no easy task. My dear friends at my bank in Miami helped me&#8230;(15,000 coins!) the &#8216;fun&#8217; continued getting them out of the US, through airport security, and here to Guatemala to fabricate the pieces. I guess it&#8217;s obvious I&#8217;m very passionate about this stuff.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<p>The other coincidental discovery was that Carl attended the University of Virginia, where my oldest son went. Small world, indeed, to have so many newly discovered connections through blog posts. You know what they say about, &#8220;find a penny, pick it up; one day you&#8217;ll have good luck.&#8221; I guess the new year (and 2013, with unlucky 13 at that), is starting off right in finding that unexpected new penny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Penny art &#8212; old made new and newly discovered &#8212; discussed on Art Is
