ARIPEKA, Fla. (AP) – Pop artist James Rosenquist has lost his west Florida home and art for an upcoming New York City show to a brush fire.
Florida Division of Forestry spokesman Don Ruths says the fire also destroyed two studios on the property.
Rosenquist says all the art for a fall show in New York also was destroyed.
Residents returned to their homes Saturday night after crews battled to control the 80-acre brush fire in Withlacoochee State Forest’s Homosassa tract, at the north end of Indian Bay.
Rosenquist’s work has been shown at various museums. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum organized a retrospective of his work in 2003.
