Some info on the beautiful 9/11 Museum wall artwork....

Between the North and South Towers is the Memorial Hall, one side of which is graced by Spencer Finch’s huge artwork Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning.

Finch painted each of the nearly 3,000 pieces of paper (one for each victim) by hand. Mounted on wire, they abstractly recall not so much the sky but the “have you seen...” notes and notes of mourning that New Yorkers posted on fences in the days after September 11. A Virgil quote in large text is highlighted by the grid of blues, but a cutout in the grid’s bottom-right corner is a plaque that discreetly announces that “the remains of many who perished at the World Trade Center site on September 11, 2001” are behind the wall.
