DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) — An artist is suing to stop the demolition of her art installation in Des Moines.

The Des Moines Art Center says an outdoor installation at Greenwood Park is a hazard. It also claims repairs would be too expensive.

Artist Mary Miss says the center violated a contract by not having her written permission to remove the artwork.

The center said deconstruction could start as early as Monday.

It would not comment on the lawsuit.
