At the end of the month, the state of New Jersey plans to demolish a site-specific artwork, Green Acres, by the artist Athena Tacha. The piece, which is 77 feet by 85 feet and was completed in 1985, occupies a courtyard at the state’s Department of Environmental Protection. The Cultural Landscape Foundation calls it an important example of “site-specific architectural sculpture” and is on the case to save it.
