A tribute to James Lee Byars 

An artist who used lost art techniques to great effect, James Lee Byars, has died recently. I featured his work in the premier of this site in 1997. Enigmatic, better known in Europethan in the country of his birth, it is telling that Byars lived in Cairo, Egypt at the time of his death in May, 1997. Born in Detroit in 1932, he graduated from Wayne State University.
