Eiffel Tower
$22.00
Three hundred metres of iron lattice on the Champ de Mars, in the 7th, on the left bank of the Seine. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, meant to come down twenty years later; the radio antennas at the top earned it a reprieve. From a Métro window at dusk it appears for a second between buildings, then is gone. From the Trocadéro at the top of the hour after dark, twenty thousand bulbs sparkle for five minutes. There is no good angle on it that doesn't include other people taking the same photograph. That is part of seeing it.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
