Praying Mantis: “Not your father’s Caidllac”

Caponi created this work out of 1960’s era Cadillac car parts as a gift for a friend who was an entomologist. It was installed outside a private home in St. Paul but was stolen in the 1970s, put up for ransom, and then dropped off a bridge over Highway 280. In 2011 the piece was donated to the art park and given a permanent home.
