AND I THOUGHT MY WIFE COULD STRETCH A DOLLAR

An article in the March 21st Wall Street Journal about the work of British artist Cornelia Parker mentions one work which is

"a coil of wire framed behind glass, described as a silver dollar drawn into a thread as long as the Statue of Liberty is high.

"Measuring Liberty with A Dollar" Ms. Parker calls it."
