@gettymuseum amplifies @evan.hall’s story on the making of the Palisades Fire Memorial—a forthcoming installation of 7 salvaged chimneys from the 2025 #PalisadesFire.
It locates multiple points of significance of the #RayKappe chimney—from the Erdley family’s history, to the architectural legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, to its relationship with the California landscape and Sol Lewitt’s concrete block structures.
The story was written in honor of Hal Erdley, who passed away at age 99 on February 21, 2025—six weeks after losing his home to the Palisades Fire.
