Description -The Pylons were named the Hair Curlers and other names by locals who didn't approve of their construction
-Sculptures measure 30x40 feet
-From KCStar (Editor Alice Thorson)
"The four fanciful sculptures that were installed in 1994 atop the soaring pylons of Bartle Hall were a $1.1 million project in the program. R.M. Fischer of New York was the artist."
