Fifteen Minutes

This audiobook recounts the story of Billie Lawless’ sculpture "Green Lightning" and the controversy surrounding its removal by the city of Buffalo in 1984. Through interviews, court documents, and press clippings, it explores the events leading up to the sculpture's destruction and highlights the importance of public art education. The narrative underscores the subjective nature of art and the potential for misunderstandings when the public is unfamiliar with its meanings and interpretations.
