Frank "Jelly" Nash, was considered the most successful bank robber in US history; He was originally from Kansas City - like the artist Robert Morris. In this work, Morris uses the outlaw's story to explore the relationship between text and art, and it is an example of Morris' preoccupation with the concept of prisons and cells in art.

Text: A 1933 Chevrolet and a 1932 Dodge sedan are found and fully restored. They are placed in the parking lot of the Kansas City, Missouri, Union Station in precisely the places they occupied the morning of June 17, 1933 (with the help of UPI photographs and old police records this can be determined). Frank "Jelly" Nash's body --wherever it now is-- is disinterred and buried beneath the 1933 Chevrolet. Mr. Nash, who had reputedly robbed with the Barkers, was being transferred from a train, the Missouri Pacific Flyer, to the Chevrolet, for transport to Leavenworth Penitentiary, when he was machine-gunned to death by unknown assailants. Also killed in or around the two cars in what was to become known as the "Kansas City Massacre" were FBI agent Raymond Caffrey, police chief Otto Reed, detectives W.J. "Red" Grooms and Frank Hermanson. Plaster casts of still existing groups of bullet holes in the station walls can be made and sold inside the station, together with a pamphlet describing the event.

- Venedig 1997 Minimalist Conceptual Architectural SilkscreenBy Gerhard MerzLocated in Surfside, FLGenre: Other Subject: Architecture Medium: Print Surface: Paper Country: Germany Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 15 3/4" Dimensions w/Frame: 22 3/4" x 19" Gerhard Merz Venedig 1997 1998 From the portfolio Sequences printed on Magnani rag paper. print 50 x 40 cm (19¾ x 15¾"), signed and numbered. Edition of 60. Gerhard Merz, born 1947 in Mammendorf near Munich, lives and works in Berlin and Pescia, Italy. Gerhard Merz, who has occasionally been labeled a modern classicist, uses the elements of art - measurement, form and light - in a careful reconsideration of modernism. These three prints document the idea, the architectural plan, and the realized art space at the German Pavillion of the Venice Biennale 1997: brick walls, plaster and fluorescent light - clarity and blankness. »The beautiful is mute and blank.« Gerhard Merz (born 25 May 1947 in Mammendorf , Kreis Fürstenfeldbruck ) is a German artist. From 1969 to 1973, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and became a student in the masterclass of Rudi Tröger . Between 1964 and 1969, inspired by Francis Bacon and Uwe Lausen, expressive pictures emerged and subsequently metal sculptures. Since the beginning of the 1970s, he has been increasingly successful with spatial installations in which he drew references to the history of literature and art, as well as to political history, as well as the development of large-format, monochrome images with lines of pencil strokes. In the building of the Federal Foreign Office in Bonn, he designed a wall through a large polychromatic mosaic. Starting in 1977, he was represented at Documenta in Kassel four times in a row. In 1983 he was awarded the Arnold-Bode-Prize of the documenta – City of Kassel . In 1991 he received a reputation as a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf . In 1998/1999 he was commissioned to design the rooms within the framework of the old building renovation of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin in a joint project with the architect Hans Kollhoff...Category
