In a vote for art integrity, the Wyoming Board of Geographic Names refused Gregory Constatine's petition to name a bluff near Cody "Mount Jackson Pollack".
Pollack, as no doubt will be recalled, was the troubled artist who was born in Cody but who moved away with his family while an infant. His "artwork", which might be better defined as complete crap, has no association with the state and, as noted, is complete crap. It was boosted to some degree because of goofball Central Intelligence Agency sponsorship, unknown to Pollack at the time, based on the loony theory that if art that was complete crap was known to circulate in the United States Soviet citizens would somehow learn that and be impressed with freedom in the US.
The thesis was stupid, and Pollack's "artwork" is complete crap.
Constantine's artwork, which isn't much better than Pollack, features the bluff. He earlier proposed naming it after himself.
