I am interested in knowing more about Roy Lichtenstein's 31' steel scupture entitled "Modern Head." I have seen reference to this work (31' steel of the same design) in at least 4 locations: 1). Battery Park, NY (the World Trade Center) 2). Jerusalem, Israel 3). Nassau County Museum, NY 4). Nagano Prefecture, Japan Does anyone on this forum know about Lichtenstein's "Modern Head" and how many works of the same design there are in total? Also, if there is published material about "Modern Head," I would appreciate any information (title, cost, etc) so I can order materials. I live in Japan and do not have easy access to a large reference library. Thank you. David Carlson e-mail: carlson@po.mdu.ac.jp Associate Professor MDU Shiojiri, Japan

Dear Reader, Iíve decided to send you some information about my PROPRIETARY casting machine that Iíve invented and built a prototype of. It facilitates my efforts to create original sculptures. My machine heats up metal into a liquid which is then sprayed into the mold. Sculptures are casted out of pewter and coated with bronze (could be any metal). I can mix metal with bone, epoxy, glass etcÖ while casting a sculpture. Weight approximately over 100 lbs. for life size statue. Sculptures are empty inside shell. Average thickness of walls 1 /4 ì to 1 /2 ì. Some interesting effects can be achieved when this spraying technique is used that are impossible when using lost wax investment mold casting technique. I was very frustrated with the cost (about $15 K for life size statue) and waiting time to get my sculptures casted in the foundry in the USA. ITíS A LESS EXPENSIVE WAY OF GETTING SCULPTURES CASTED. If I can be of any assistance to you I would be happy to help you with your casting needs.
