Biographical Information
"The piece is made of trophies that at one point had a lot of personal value," Mr. Baron said, adding that he hopes it challenges viewers to ask themselves, "Why does this thing no longer have value?" --excerpt from NY Times article, "Ball in Flight and Other Jock Art," June 19, 2005.
