Description
One night in the Spring of 1965, local pranksters used latex paint and wood and foam-rubber cutouts to create giant green footprints leading from The Spirit of Detroit to Step of the Dance, a nude female sculpture by Italian sculptor Giacomo Manzu, located directly across the street at the One Woodward building.
