Topiary Park
Yesterday, Cleveland Museum of Art announced they acquired their first pointilist picture (Louis Hayet.
Banks of the Oise at Dawn. 1888). Columbus has a pointilist topiary (James T. Mason. 1998-1992) after Georges Seurat (A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. 1884-6).

The Front Street approach is fenced and barricaded off, and so the back side is too, but with a line of sight. This little park is not currently accessible, it is next to the Ohio Supreme Court.
