Not A Cornfield

[1] Lauren Bon created this work with funds from the Annenberg Foundation and considered the piece to be a sculpture.

The installation cost $3 million and took place at the proposed site of Los Angeles State Historic Park, which had been referred to as "The Cornfield", because of the crops growing there prior to its industrial development.

[2] Fifteen hundred truck loads of soil were transported to the site and one million seeds were planted.

The corn was harvested in November and December 2005, allowed to dry and put on display in the nearby empty Capital Milling Co. building for six months.

[citation needed] "Not A Cornfield" was located at 1201 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California, 90012.
