>Art collector Rene di Rosa has just bought a rather ``smashing'' new work
>of art for the di Rosa Preserve in Napa, California's Carneros Valley. It's
>a 60-foot-tall file cabinet (over five stories high!) filled with file
>folders by San Francisco artist Samuel Yates.
>
>Yates took a 1974 MG Midget car apart, then steamrolled every single piece
>of the car as flat as Wile E. Coyote. Then he weighed each flattened piece
>(in milligrams) and put each one in a labeled Ziploc bag. All the bags were
>then put into the file folders, which fill the 60-foot tall cabinet.
>
>Yates had to give di Rosa the car's DMV registration when he purchased the
>work for an undisclosed amount.
>
>Oh yes, the title of the work, which curator Richard Reisman hopes to
>install by the end of June: ``Minuet in MG.'' Di Rosa Preserve, on the
>Sonoma Highway 121, is open by appointment weekdays and Saturday mornings.
