A non-art person stopped mid-run because a bronze woman's hands were opening the wrong way

A runner noticed something so small-a change in the angle of bronze fingers-that it unraveled eleven months of secret edits and a replacement sculpture worth $62,000. How did a forged bronze relief, altered catalog records, and a foundry edition of three come together without anyone noticing?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the original installation to the moment the substitution was discovered, laying out how access, credentials, and patient labor aligned to rewrite the official record and the object itself. What was the motive behind replacing one cast with another, and who had the time and skill to pull it off?
Person: Douglas Russo
Date: October 2019
Location: Caldwell Reservoir, east bank
Author: Connie Parrish
Appraised value: $62,000 per cast
- Russo stopped four miles into his run at 5:40 AM and took three photographs of the bronze relief.
- The relief "Dispersal" was cast as a limited edition of three and measured approximately 18 inches by 24 inches.
- Connie Parrish made the original at Kettler Cast in 2018 and the Caldwell Reservoir Collective installed it in spring 2019.
- Someone used registrar Pam Voigt’s credentials to access ArtRegistry Central 41 times from ~November 2018 through September 2019.
- Warren Erickson, age 41 in 2019, visited the Collective’s administrative office at least eight times between 2018 and 2019 while working restoration contracts.
