A sculpture of more than 100 old refrigerators, stacked and arranged in a ring like England's Stonehenge, was removed by the city last week.Strong wind had toppled much of the 80-foot-high (24 meter), graffiti-covered structure, and city and state officials found that it had become a health and safety hazard.
Officials in this artists' haven had only reluctantly let Adam Horowitz create the public art work nearly a decade ago. But it had become a cult phenomenon and a tourist destination, featured on television and in print worldwide.
City spokeswoman Laura Banish said Stonefridge was never meant to be permanent. Neighbors complained, she said.
You can find pictures of its former glory after the jump.
