The US site, NYPOST.COM, reported on the 17th of October that the remnants of a sculpture by US artist Alexander Calder entitled Bent Propeller, have been found in the wreckage of the World Trade Center, a month after the tragedy. Now a crushed and burned mass, the 8 metre red steel sculpture had stood on the plaza outside 7 World Trade Center and was believed to have been worth $ 2.5 million (€ 2.7 million). "It's good to see something positive coming out of all this," said one of the salvage workers. Meanwhile in Toronto, Canada, the Liss gallery is exhibiting a show entitled “Ground Zero” with pictures taken by photojournalist Harry Benson to be sold to raise money for the New York Firefighters' Disaster Relief Fund. The collection of 24 photographs includes images of people fleeing Manhattan, firefighters working at the scene and portraits of the New York City skyline. (Andrew Moore)
