I thought that thing was pretty cool.
HONDO - Luis Jimenez, a successful but often controversial sculptor whose work has been displayed at the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art, has died in what authorities are calling an industrial accident.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said part of a sculpture was being moved with a hoist at Jimenez's studio Tuesday when it came loose and struck the artist, pinning him against a steel support. He was taken to the Lincoln County Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
