Sagg Main Street
Kenneth Snelson,
1966 (installed 1976)
* abstract assemblage
* Was at the end of the apartment complex driveway on the West side of 20th between Hamilton and Spring Garden. The Whitney 1966 Exhibition catalog has a picture of what appears to be this piece, so I am listing 1966. The Smithsonian catalog has 1975 with an installation of 1976. kennethsnelson.net shows a smaller and slightly different 1968 piece with the same name. The mathtourist blog entry about Snelson has a picture of this piece dated 2000. A PDF titled Kenneth Snelson, Art and Ideas, Essay by Eleanor Heartney, additional text by Kennth Snelson, has a picture of a similar piece titled Sagg Main Street II, dated 2006.
