Oops!: A 22,000-pound sculpture by Los Angeles artist Jonathan Borofsky was twisted and bent when it fell atop a crane that was hoisting it into place at a new Seattle Art Museum. News photographers scrambled out of the way as the steel “Hammering Man” dropped when a nylon strap snapped. The upper torso and one leg of the $450,000 sculpture--a black silhouette of a worker with a motorized arm that raises and lowers in a hammering action--were damaged.
