"Blue Poles" hung in the living room of Heller's 10th floor New York apartment on Central Park West. During this time Mr. Heller frequently had guests view the art and loaned it to various museums for additional viewing. The painting was so large that it required the removal of apartment windows to lower it onto the street below, a feat accomplished with the support of the "Seven Santini Brothers" moving team. The Heller family had a very special relationship with the artwork and it was difficult to see it go.
