Businessman Don Lippincott is the angel behind the North Haven plant where Broken Obelisk was fabricated, invested $100,000 in it so that sculptors could produce works for civic groups and industry. U.S. Steel supplies Lippincott with its new Cor-Ten steel, which weathers to a russet brown, at a generous saving. Bethlehem Steel let Robert Murray...
