ARTIST: Robert Kipniss
DATE: 2001
WHY WE CHOSE IT: Despite our unseasonably mild winter, famous meteorologist/groundhog Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his lair in Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania this morning and saw his shadow. According to Phil’s prediction, we’re in for six more weeks of winter — but with weather like this, does anybody really seem to mind?
