The 24 foot Sculpture "Receptor" 1980, by Christopher Georgesco was recently reinstalled at Pasadena City College. It had been in storage at "Armory Park" in Pasadena, California for 2 years. Its original home "The Plaza Pasadena Shopping Mall" was demolished due to declining revenues. Thanks to the City of Pasadena, The Sculpture Conservation Studio Co. & Pasadena City College the piece has found a new home . It is great that they made a collaborative effort to save the sculpture. There are so many Landmark Buildings and Public Art works in our cities that fall victim to the Wreaking Ball, that it is a blessing when a part of our Cultural and Historical Past is saved. Our deepest gratitude's go out to the people involved in saving this work.
