An enormous Tennessee marble vase was sent over Sat. to Manhattan's Park Avenue Armory in preparation for the upcoming Winter Antiques Show. Weighing 14,000 pounds, the pink piece was transferred by a moving team using a heavy duty rigging machine. The 9-foot-tall artwork “Urn” by American sculpture Paul Manship, known for his golden “Prometheus” presiding over Rockefeller Center, is reportedly priced at $6 million by show exhibitor Gerald Peters Gallery.
