The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf At The Haudenschild Garage: Auction Night
title The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf At The Haudenschild Garage: Auction Nightdescription Haudenschild Garage, La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.)

Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 189, DVD 01) [Title, Date].
